A five-eighth, Morris grew up in the Sydney suburb of Ermington and started his NSWRFL career at Balmain, where he played two first-grade games in 1980.

Morris switched to Newtown in 1981 and got his opportunity in first-grade late in the season, forming a partnership with Tommy Raudonikis in the halves.^[2] Throughout the 1981 finals series he remained Newtown's five-eighth, which included the grand final loss to Parramatta, in which he also served as goal-kicker.^[3]

When Newtown folded he finished his NSWRL career with two seasons at St. George in 1984 and 1985, making a total of 18 appearances in first-grade.^[4]
