Harding fought in World War I, during which part of his right hand was blown off. However this did not greatly restrict his ability to play cricket,[1] with him later making three first-class appearances for Sussex in 1928 County Championship, against Yorkshire, Hampshire and Essex.[2] He scored 91 runs in his three matches, at an average of 18.20, with a high score of 55 not out,[3] which he made against Essex.[4]

Outside of cricket he played rugby union for Blackheath F.C., and was at one point considered for England selection.[1] He died at Eastbourne, Sussex, on 30 November 1977.
