    Early career

    A fast leading and dangerous forward, Morris played for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL Reserves competition in 2019, where he averaged eight disposals across his five outings. [1]

    AFL career

    Morris's AFL career was initially hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a young player coming into the system Morris would normally start by playing with the Hawthorn affiliate Box Hill Hawks, but because that competition had been suspended for the year he had to show his metal with scratch matches against other AFL clubs.

    Morris made his AFL debut in round 6, 2020, against Collingwood at GIANTS Stadium. [2]


    In 2022 the Box Hill coaches played him as a defender. After strong patch of form he was promoted to AFL. He strung 6 games together before a injury to his shoulder that required surgery. [3]
