Career

Morrison's first senior club was Village United in the Jamaican National Premier League. He signed for Portmore United in 2004 and formed part of their league and cup winning squad that season.[1] After a successful month-long trial with Sheffield United in December 2006,[2] Morrison was sent to their feeder team, White Star Woluwe in Belgium.

After three years of playing in Belgium, Morrison would have qualified for Belgian nationality and thus be eligible to play in the English league.[3] Morrison was transferred to Hungarian partner club, Ferencvárosi TC, in 2008. In August 2010 Morrison signed with Strømsgodset IF in Norway. He helped Strømsgodset qualify for the Norwegian cup final 2010, scoring the first goal in extra time against Odd Grenland in the semi final.

He signed Aalesunds FK in Norway's Tippeligaen in 2011.
