Morris started playing rugby for Bedford Junior Blues at the age of five.[2] He played fly-half until the age of 16 but then switched to fullback; at 17 he became Bedford Blues' youngest player in the professional era.[3] From the age of 18 he was training with Saracens.[3][2]

Morris never made a first team appearance for Saracens but also spent time on loan at London Scottish, making his debut against Munster A in the British and Irish Cup.[4] His signing for Harlequins was announced on 18 May 2016,[5] with Morris extending his contract in 2017[6] and again in 2019.[7]
