Likely to miss the rest of the season: "Tam Courts has revealed that Ian Harkes is likely to miss the remainder of the campaign due to an ankle injury. However, the Dundee United boss is confident the American midfielder has not played his last game for the Tangerines."

Looks like he will be re-signing with Dundee United: EXCLUSIVE: Ian Harkes set to sign extended Dundee United deal https://t.co/FEdCaljQgD pic.twitter.com/pS5wfCt91T— The Courier Sport (@thecouriersport) June 9, 2022
But he hasn't signed yet... Morecambe is reportedly monitoring Ian Harkes' situation at Dundee United with the midfielder still unsigned for next season at the Scottish Premiership club. Morecambe finished 19th in League One last season. #USMNT— Larry Henry Jr (@lhenry019) June 21, 2022
Reiterating that point: But despite appearing to confirm he was staying back on June 18, the contract hasn’t yet been finalised. The midfielder missed the beginning of United's pre-season training this week as he was still away in America enjoying a break. But Harkes is understood to be on his way back over the pond to the UK as the two parties prepare to continue contract talks. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9075282/ian-harkes-dundee-united-contract/

I hope I eat my words, I really do, but when the chips are down, you’re never getting back into the game with Ian Harkes in midfield. By no means is he the only poor performer but he’s just awful.— Stuart Milne (@SGMilne) August 20, 2022 Taking some Twitter abuse as they trail 2-0.
