Morris attended, and played soccer, at Capilano College. In 1996, Capilano won the Canadian college championship. Morris was the tournament MVP.[1] In 1999, Morris signed with the Abbotsford 86ers of the USL Premier Development League. His outstanding play, fourteen goals in fifteen games, led to his selection as the USL PDL Rookie of the Year.[2] It also led to his being called up to the Vancouver 86ers five times that season. In 2000, Morris made a permanent move to Vancouver where he played until 2007.[3] After his retirement from professional soccer, Morris continued playing for Pegasus FC in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.
