Morris had trials with Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire before joining Hampshire. He played 37 first-class matches as a right-handed opening batsman, enjoying his best season in 1994 when he averaged 49 and scored a career best 174 against Nottinghamshire. Unable to secure a regular place in the Hampshire line-up, Morris was released in 1996, his final innings a century against Cambridge University.[3]

He became the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association in 2008. Morris left that role in 2009 to become the chief executive of the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
