Despite a hotly contested derby the game ended as a 2–1 defeat by Southend United after Ryan Cresswell scored for the Shrimpers in the fourth minute of stoppage time.[3] Merrifield made his first league start for the Dons on 8 September 2012 in a 2–0 defeat against Northampton Town.[4] On 30 November 2012, Merrifield was loaned out to Isthmian League Premier Division side Harrow Borough on an initial two-month loan deal along with fellow team-mate Emmanuel Akokhia.[5] He made his debut for The Boro in a 0–0 draw with Whitehawk on 1 December 2012.[6] On 8 December 2012, he struck a first-half equaliser for Harrow Borough against East Thurrock United, with the match eventually ending as a 3–2 defeat.[7] On 29 January 2013, Merrifield scored his second league goal in a 3–2 loss to Metropolitan Police. On 4 February 2013, it was announced that Merrifield's loan spell had been extended by a further month.[8] On 4 March 2013, it was announced that Merrifield had returned to AFC Wimbledon having made seven appearances in total for Harrow Borough. On 1 July 2013, it was announced that Merrifield had left the club.[9]
