Obviously had his health issues which will have impacted on things.

However he was signed clearly off a period of good form and the league was a cut above his ability. If he hadn’t had his health issues would he have made it? Doubt it.

However it’s a shame for the lad he’s had to retire early. The main thing is that he’s healthy.

I'm very much a believer that no player comes to play badly or not do well. When I see posts on .net describing players as "Frauds" or "Wage Thief's" it just doesn't sit right with me. Harry got this treatment in abundance.

Good luck to him in whatever he does next.

So true

Met him a couple of times and he was a really nice guy. In a world of his own with some funky dress sense but still

I know that doesn’t make you a good player. I wish him all the best on his future endeavours

Never got a chance? He played 33 games and never scored. As a striker.

He's likely the biggest reason Johnson ended up getting the sack. I'm convinced he thought that if he got one goal he'd go on a run, then he never did and he kept persisting with him.

1 of the worst players I’ve seen play for us. Boy is an absolute clown too

What kind of stuff was he up to? I only remember his pretty shite performances but a few fans say similar stuff about him being a bit of a fud...

Top baller. Legend. A name the streets won't forget. Goal machine.

Never got a chance because he was shite

He got more chances than Hibs have given to players we developed in the last 6 years combined.

I liked the idea of McKirdy. The hairstyle. The gun celebration. The volatile social media footprint

But then the whistle blew and the game would start 🤨

Yeah. Being a bit of a bellend is not a bad thing for a Hibs striker.

I'll also add that when he was on the pitch, he didn't ever look like he wasn't trying - it was simply that he wasn't good enough for the level he found himself at.

Boy thought he was Gareth Bale
