Career

Born in Canberra, Morris was successful as a youngster in youth racing in Australia before making the move into British racing in 2010 with Buxton Hitmen in the National League, the team going on to be crowned champions. It was the only season that Morris would race in the National League, making the step up to the Premier League and the Elite League in 2011. He won titles with Glasgow Tigers and Scunthorpe Scorpions in the Premier League, and with the Swindon Robins in the Elite League. Morris has ridden for Swindon since 2012, and in late 2014 it was announced that Morris would return to Swindon for the 2015 season.[1] He stayed with Swindon Robins to 2018, where he started the season as Team Captain under Manager Alun Rossiter. He guested for Poole Pirates in both legs of the 2018 Premiership final to help them become champions.
