Morris started his career with Burnley as an apprentice. He made his debut for Burnley in their home FA Cup defeat to non-league Wimbledon in January 1975. After six years at Turf Moor he joined Southend United. Another move took him to Blackpool, where he was the club's top League scorer in 1980–81 with twelve goals. A £100,000 transfer saw him join Sheffield United in February 1982.[3]

His son, Lee, followed him into the Blades' ranks in the 1990s.
