However, he has been training with them all week and has put pen to paper this morning on a one month deal that will hopefully see the 20-year-old midfielder get some first team football.
Alex-Ray has been on the fringes of the first team at Burnley. Along with Wes Fletcher he travelled to Singapore on the pre-season tour and but for injury might well have made a first team competitive debut in the Carling Cup tie at Morecambe.
He's been with the first team squad on a few occasions this season and has made the bench too although, as yet, hasn't been called upon.
He's joining a club managed by Micky Mellon who will know Harvey well from his time as a coach at Burnley's centre of excellence.
Alex-Ray Harvey is Clarets Mad's sponsored player for the 2010/11 season and we certainly wish him well at Highbury over the next month.
