Harvey Antonio Blair (born 14 September 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Portsmouth.
Blair was born in Huddersfield, England. He is of Jamaican descent.
Blair was originally part of Manchester United's youth setup, but later joined Liverpool as an U12 player. He signed his first professional contract in October 2020. He was later promoted to the Under-18 squad for the 2020âÂÂ21 season. His first year was greatly impacted by injury as he made just four appearances and scored two goals. In the 2021âÂÂ22 season, he has made five league appearances and scored one goal for the academy side, impressing enough to be promoted to the senior team.
Blair made his professional debut in an EFL Cup game against Preston North End on 27 October 2021. He was brought off after 55 minutes. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said about Blair's performance: "The game for Harvey in the first half was really not easy and in the second half as well. We didn't really involve him in the game. That doesn't help."
Blair trained with the Liverpool first team in the 2023 pre-season, but sustained a meniscus tear in the first week.
On 23 August 2024, Blair signed for Championship club Portsmouth on an initial three-year deal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be initially in the region of ã300,000 with the potential to rise to ã600,000 should the add-ons be met.
He made his debut one day later, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute in a 2âÂÂ2 draw away at Middlesbrough.
He scored his first goal for the club in a 1âÂÂ1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on 26 April 2025.
Blair has been described as a 'tricky winger' who is 'blessed with good pace, size and ball control'.
He's traditionally played as a left winger under under-18s manager Bridge-Wilkinson, but can also operate as a striker and a little bit deeper in a no.10 role.
