Career
Morris started playing rugby for Bedford Junior Blues at the age of five.[2] He played fly-half until the age of 16 but then switched to fullback; at 17 he became Bedford Blues' youngest player in the professional era.[3] From the age of 18 Morris was training with Saracens.[2][3] He never made a first team appearance for Saracens but did spend time on loan at London Scottish, making his debut against Munster A in the British and Irish Cup.[4]
Morris represented England at youth level and scored a penalty from his own half as England under-20 defeated South Africa in the final of the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship at Eden Park.[5] The following year he was a member of the side that won the 2015 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and finished runners up to New Zealand at the 2015 Junior World Cup.[6][7]
In May 2016 it was announced that Morris had signed for Harlequins.[8] He extended his contract with the club in 2017 and again in 2019.[9][10] Harlequins won the 2020–21 Premiership Rugby title but Morris picked up an injury in the semi-final against Bristol Bears which meant he missed the final against Exeter Chiefs.[11]
Morris announced his retirement in April 2023 due to injuries.[11][12]
