Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Morris was born in Market Drayton, Shropshire. He played for Shrewsbury Town before joining Birmingham in 1906.[2] Morris made his debut in the First Division on 2 March 1907, scoring a goal which secured a 1–1 draw at home to Manchester United, and played in the next game, but then lost his place to Frank Cornan. A creative player, he appeared once more in the 1906–07 season, when Cornan moved to left half to cover for the absent Jim Dougherty, and again scored to gain Birmingham a point.[3] After appearing only once in the following season, he returned to Shrewsbury Town in 1908.[2]

Morris died in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, in 1945.[2]
