The league team, in the South Central Division, welcomed him in summer 2023 after he'd spent time with AFC Wimbledon and Farnborough and he's also known for his goal celebrations.
Now the lad will be hoping to score in Majorca as part of Maya Jama's squad.
A source said: 'Harry's got the full package - a great, athletic bod and great chat.
'Love Island's ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.
'Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.'
Love Island and ITV has yet to announce any of the cast, but decisions will be made soon about which guys and girls make the opening line-up with the series just days from launch.
Harry will be able to enjoy garden workouts with hunky 6'5' Aaron Buckett, who was the first name linked to this series but is likely to join as a bombshell.
Stunning Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, both revealed by The Sun, are in the mix for opening up the show.
And earlier today we added gym hunk Tommy Bradley to the pack.
They'll be joining Love Island at a great time as the show's 12 series have now been streamed 2 BILLION times on ITVX.

Before quitting Celebs Go Dating The Sun revealed that Christine was open to dating 'both men and women' OPENING UP Christine McGuinness says she's dated girls since she was a teenager and her sexuality 'is not a secret' CHRISTINE McGuinness has revealed how she has dated girls since she was a teenager.

She also revealed how her family and her ex-husband have always been aware of her sexuality. Speaking on the How To Fail podcast, Christine said: "It shouldn't matter somebody's gender. It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn't properly date 'It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal. "It felt comfortable because I'd done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women. "My ex-husband knew. My family knew. It was never a secret for me.' When asked if she has a label for her sexuality, Christine said considers herself a "free spirit'. Explaining more to the podcast host Elizabeth Day, she said: "I've thought about it. A lot of people always ask me, are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Are you what? Is this a phase? "I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it. "When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. 14/15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal. Christine McGuinness is dating women and men and will fly to Ibiza for hot same sex date "Then I think where I grew up, everyone was kind of just there for a good time." Asked about her past relationships with women, Christine revealed: "My longest was two years before I met my ex-husband and then I've had really, really lovely long situation shifts where we purposely haven't put a label on anything', she added. "But my experiences with women have been lovely and It's not like women are better or worse. "It's simply that the connection for me is different. I need a connection now. I need something different." 5 Christine recently quit Celebs Go Dating Credit: Channel 4 QUITTING CELEBS GO DATING Last month, Christine shocked fans when she revealed she had quit Celebs Go Dating. The star had jetted off to Ibiza, and had already started filming with fellow celebrities like Kerry Katona, when she walked away. In a statement, Christine said: 'I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. 'They've said the door is always open for me, which I'm so grateful for, but for now I'm returning home to my family.' A Celebs Go Dating spokesperson added: 'We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency.' Celebs Go Dating's resident sexpert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn spoke to The Sun after Christine's exit. She told us: 'Her situation outside of the show is very complex so we will focus on helping her gain clarity about what she wants to do moving forward and build confidence in dating again. 'As a dating expert, I admire Christine for putting her wellbeing first. 'Opening up to love on such a public platform isn't easy, and it's incredibly brave to recognise when the timing isn't right.' She added: 'The door remains open, and we'd welcome her back with open arms when the moment feels right for her.' When Christine signed up for Celebs Go Dating earlier this year it was revealed she was "open to dating both men and women".
