The left-sided player was introduced midway into the second half when he replaced Rico Browne who was forced to succumb to an earlier knock.

Harper has exclusively played at left wing-back since arriving at Walsall last summer, but had previously been deployed on the right at times for Exeter City and Eastleigh.
