Early career

Born in Syracuse, New York to an African-American father and a Croatian mother, Morris moved to Zagreb, Croatia when he was less than a year old.

In 2014, he became a regular in Dinamo's reserve team, a position he would hold for four subsequent seasons, mainly in the Druga HNL. Morris made his first-team debut in 2015, in the 7–1 cup win against Oštrc Zlatar, scoring in the process. [3]

The same year, on 25 September, he made his Prva HNL debut as well, coming in for Josip Pivarić in the second half of a 4–1 home win against Osijek. [4] He would go on to make just one further top-tier appearance for the club, in a 1–0 win against Lokomotiva in September 2016. [5]

Domžale

In June 2018, Morris signed a three-year contract with Slovenian PrvaLiga club Domžale. [6] He made his debut for Domžale on 5 August 2018, in a 5–1 away loss against Mura. [7] Morris left the club in June 2019.
