Harris featured 41 times for the Waratahs since his debut in 2020, eventually named as part of the Australia A squad in 2022.
"Crono and Jeremy (Williams) are two key factors for my move over. The Force is a team on the up, and I want to stay in Australia to push for a Wallabies jersey. Here, I look forward to a fresh start and improving my game," Harris said in a statement.
"Jeremy and I went to school together and have stayed in the same friendship circle and best mates for the last ten years. We played club rugby together, school, the list goes on. He 'Jeremy' has had only good things to say about the Force, so that made me sure of my move over.
"Crono is a very individualistic coach; he has a lot of time for you one-on-one, knows his detail in and out, and is ruthless. I have heard he keeps everyone accountable.
"I have sort of made myself known in the Super competition now. I still have a lot to work on in terms of my attacking game and getting a bit more involved with the ball, my carry in the middle, and overall being more physical around the park."
Western Force coach Simon Cron was equally as pleased as he continues to build for the future.
"Will is extremely fast and explosive as well as having a high skill level," he added.
He adds another genuine lineout option to our forward pack because he is incredibly fast off the ground”.
"I was lucky enough to coach Will a few years ago and he is a player who is always wanting to learn and get better.
"He is very driven and adds a wealth of Super Rugby experience at such a young age”.
