Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Harris made his ODI debut against South Africa in January 2009 but had to wait for an year to make his next appearance. He was a late call-up for the ODI series against Pakistan in January 2010, but he created an immediate impression snapping up 2 successive 5-wicket hauls. He has been a picture of consistency ever since then snapping 41 wickets in just 17 ODI appearances at a stunning average of 16.12.
A Test call-up was never in doubt after such fine ODI performances and Harris was rewarded with the baggy green during the tour to New Zealand in March 2010. He ended up with match figures of 6/119 in his debut Test and followed it up with 3 more wickets in the next Test. His best though was reserved against England. He picked up 9 wickets including a career best 6/47 in the second innings at Perth as Australia romped home in style. An injury though ended his participation in the final Test at Sydney and also ruled him out of the Cricket World Cup - 2011 in the Indian sub-continent.
Ryan started his career with South Australia before moving onto Queensland. His British passport helped him to secure a contract with Sussex which was shelved after it became apparent that he had secured a move to Queensland and it breached the Sussex contract.
Ryan Harris was a part of the Deccan Chargers squad that won the IPL in 2009. His proximity with his coach in South Australia, Darren Lehmann helped him in getting this contract without having to go through the auction process. In the subsequent auctions for the 2011 tournament, Ryan Harris was signed up by Kings XI Punjab.
Harris returned to the international scene during the tour of Sri Lanka in 2011 and returned with a rich haul of 11 wickets from just 2 matches, a superb achievement considering the lack of support for pacers in sub-continental tracks. It included 5/62 at Galle, helping Australia clinch a series winning victory.
Persistent injuries though continued to haunt Harris as he has featured in just 3 Test matches and a handful of ODIs since then. When on song, Harris is one difficult customer to deal with as evident in his stats. He made a return to state cricket in the 2012-13 season and played a pivotal role in Queensland’s victory in the Ryobi cup finals against Victoria. Defending 5 runs in the last over, Harris snared the last two wickets to ensure heartbreak for the hosts.
Harris was recalled for the 2013 Ashes in England. He was overlooked for the first test against England at Trent Bridge but returned to the side for the second at Lord's, picking up 5 wickets in the first innings to go on the Lord's honors boards. He was the highest wicket-taker for Australia with 24 wickets. He became the leader of the pack and Australia looked up to him to get the wickets when required.
Having had a good outing in England, Harris led the Australian attack for the 2013-14 Ashes series Down Under as well. In March 2014, Harris was ruled out for six months following a knee surgery.
Harris' last Test series turned out to be the one against India in which picked up 10 wickets. While he was trying hard to get fit for the 2015 Ashes series, Harris ended up announcing his retirement from all forms of the game when a knee injury ruled him out of the series against England, just three days before the start of the first Ashes Test.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
There could hardly be a more appropriate nickname in Australian cricket than Rhino. Whether an adaptation of his first name or a comparison to the stampeding animal, it fits Ryan Harris perfectly. A hulking fast bowler who charges in and tramples the hopes of opposition batsmen, Harris delivers wickets in bulk. The only problem for Australia is a long and varied list of injuries that have kept Harris from playing anywhere near the amount of Test cricket they would have liked. He was also a late entrant to international cricket, debuting at the age of 29. For the first half of his career, Harris was little more than a journeyman medium-pacer with South Australia. A significant boost in pace came from increased strength and fitness, and by the time he moved to Queensland in 2008 - via a mistaken signing with Sussex on a British passport - he was a genuine fast bowler. His first season with the Bulls brought 33 victims at 26.48 and Australian honours weren't far away.
His debut Test series in New Zealand in 2010 brought nine wickets and later that year he claimed nine in the Perth Ashes Test, but in the following match his intensive method of exploding through the crease led to a broken bone in his left ankle that required surgery and ruled him out for half a year. Harris already had a chronic knee injury that will be with him until he retires, but when fit he is invaluable. A hamstring injury ruled him out of the last Test in Sri Lanka in 2011, but already his five-for had helped deliver victory in Galle and his late movement helped make him Australia's leading wicket taker. He flew home from the South African tour later that year with a hip injury that caused him to miss five Tests, and on the West Indies tour in 2012 he was controversially rested for the middle Test of a three-match series. Shoulder surgery in the 2012 winter meant he missed the whole 2012-13 international summer, but a return late in the Sheffield Shield season was encouraging. Despite picking up an Achilles tendon injury in the IPL, he was able to play in the 2013 Ashes in England.
Australia's selectors desperately wanted him for that tour, despite the fact that he had not played Tests for nearly 15 months. Despite being left out of the first Test, he was Australia's Player of the Series in the Ashes defeat and his 24 wickets at 19.58 included a career-best 7 for 117 at Chester-le-Street and a five-for at Lord's. One of the few Australians to emerge from that tour with his head held high, Harris was also named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year. Few people expected him to last the full Ashes series at home, given his history of injuries, but Australia's selectors stuck with him throughout and he repaid them with another outstanding campaign. His 22 wickets at 19.31 put him second only to Mitchell Johnson, and he was Man of the Match at the SCG for his eight-wicket game. He delivered another victory in Cape Town with a bustling and tireless effort late on the final day of the series, with 4 for 32 against South Africa. Knee surgery awaited him immediately when he returned home, but he was able to recover over the winter and play in the home Test series against India.
