Football career.
As a player.
Manchester-born Morrison joined the youth academy at Bolton Wanderers at the start of the 1996–97 season, straight from school. He turned professional at the age of 17, and was an unused substitute for the first team during the 1998–99 season. He remained at the Reebok Stadium until May 2000, when with a year still left on his Bolton contract, he joined Scunthorpe United, hoping for regular first-team football. Under manager Brian Laws, Morrison featured in 34 first-team games in his first six months with the club, but on 14 February 2001, he suffered a horror tackle from Grimsby Town defender Ben Chapman which resulted in a double compound fracture to his left leg. The game was abandoned. The injury caused Morrison to retire from the game after 18 months of injury and seven operations. He was eventually awarded more than £450,000 compensation.
As an agent.
Upon his premature retirement, Morrison embarked upon a career as a licensed football agent.
