Just as in the prior season, Harrison played sparingly in the CLP-1, failing to make a league appearance until ES Tunis had concluded their Champions League run. He appeared in 16 league matches without scoring as Tunis rolled to a fourth consecutive league crown. In CAF Champions League play, Harrison again played a headlining role once the group stage began as Tunis eliminated Al-Hilal in the semifinals and advanced to the continental final for the second consecutive year. He came off the bench in the first leg of the 2011 CAF Champions League Final, replacing Wajdi Bouazzi in the 90th minute of a draw with Wydad Casablanca. Harrison started in the second leg, playing at right back at the Stade 7 November. In the 22nd minute, he placed a left- footed, curling shot into the upper corner, a goal that gave Tunis a 1–0 lead on the night and eventually the second Champions League title in club history. Harrison would later rate that goal as his favorite soccer memory. By virtue of winning the Champions League, Tunis qualified for the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup; Harrison appeared off the bench in the quarterfinals against Al Sadd and started the fifth place match against Monterrey. On the season, he played 29 times in all competitions, scoring once.
