After signing a deal with City, he said: “I’m delighted to be here, I really feel like the lads have welcomed me well.
“The training has been quality, a high-level of fitness. The standard has been really good.
“I’ve enjoyed it – it’s obviously been difficult on the legs but we’ve played against top opposition, especially Oxford and Wycombe.
“I’ve really enjoyed all of them and I’m ready to kick on now.
“The league gets better and better each year, it’s a very competitive league.
“It’s definitely something that I’m cautious of but it’s something that I very much enjoy.
“The club matches my ambition. I want to progress in the leagues and I know that Oxford want to progress.”
Harrison came through the ranks at Bristol City, where he captained their Under-23s side before making the move to Gloucester.
The defender has also enjoyed loan spells with Hereford, Weston-super-Mare and Chippenham Town.
Jenkins said: “Tom’s had a great football education with Bristol City.
“He’s got great attributes, height, ability and a lot of strengths to his game.
“He’s come here and fitted in nicely and he’ll add strong competition to our backline.
“He’s a real positive signing for us.”
