James Morrison (born 25 May 1986 in Darlington) is an English footballer currently playing for Middlesbrough F.C. He is a product of Middlesbrough's youth academy and played several times in the 2004/05 season. His ability to run with the ball at pace makes him an effective option through the middle, as an attacking midfielder, or more often as a right winger.
Morrison starred in Middlesbrough's FA Youth Cup winning side in 2003/04 putting in several eye-catching performances throughout the cup run, notably scoring in the Final first leg 3-0 win against Aston Villa. His initial outings in the first team have displayed some promise too.
