He began his football career with Walsall Wood before joining Small Heath of the Football League First Division in 1904.[2] He made his debut for the club, by then renamed Birmingham, on 16 December 1905, scoring in a 5–0 win at home to Nottingham Forest, and played fairly regularly for the rest of that season,[3] but lost his place to Charlie Tickle when the latter recovered from injury. Towards the end of the 1906–07 season he moved on to Burton United, but never played for the league team, and left for Aston Villa when Burton failed to gain re-election to the Football League.[2][4] Harper played only twice for Villa before being sold together with Jimmy Cantrell to Notts County in March 1908.[5] After making only ten league appearances in two seasons he dropped into non-league football with Mansfield Invicta.[1][2] Harper died in Birmingham in August 1949 at the age of 68.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last=Joyce |first=Michael |title=Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939 |publisher=SoccerData (Tony Brown) |location=Nottingham |year=2004 |page=115 |isbn=978-1-899468-67-6}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Harper, Roly}}{{England-footy-forward-1880s-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Matthews |first=Tony |title=Birmingham City: A Complete Record |year=1995 |publisher=Breedon Books |location=Derby |page=94 |isbn=978-1-85983-010-9}} 3. ^Matthews, p. 152. 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fchd.info/BURTONU.HTM |title=Burton United |work=Football Club History Database |publisher=Richard Rundle |accessdate=17 March 2009}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.astonvillaplayerdatabase.com/590.html |title=Harper, Rowland Richard George (Roly) |work=Aston Villa Player Database |publisher=Jörn Mårtensson |accessdate=17 March 2009}} 11 : 1881 births|1949 deaths|People from Lichfield|English footballers|Association football forwards|Birmingham City F.C. players|Burton United F.C. players|Aston Villa F.C. players|Notts County F.C. players|English Football League players|Walsall Wood F.C. players |
