The New Saints could play home European games in Shrewsbury

The Saints beat Decic 4-1 on aggregate in the opening round of Champions League qualifying this summer before losing 7-1 over two legs to reigning Hungarian champions Ferencvaros in round two of qualifying.

Harrison’s side were then beaten 1-0 by Petrocub on aggregate in the Europa League third qualifying round, but cruised to a 3-0 victory away over FK Panevėžys before drawing the second leg 0-0 to book their place in the Europa League Conference group stage.

Having seen his side make history, Harris hopes the Saints’ success can help raise the profile of domestic football in Wales.

“I have to say, I’ve always been competitive, and I like looking at things differently to other people,” Harris added.

“I saw an opportunity in Welsh football, and I backed it.

“I like to think now that the Welsh public will start getting behind us and their local Welsh teams. Hopefully, we can all try and push the league forward.”

A plum tie with Italian giants Fiorentina is arguably the greatest reward for Harris’ investment into the Saints’ during his tenure as chairman of the club.

On the trip to Italy, Harris said: “Now that’s going to be some fun.

“I like that area of the world, I’ve travelled around there a few times, it’s a lovely place.

“They have some great wine and great food. I’ll come back fatter than when I went.”

Dates and kick-off times for the Saints’ six group stage matches will be confirmed by Uefa on Saturday, 31 August.
