Aaron James Morris (born 10 January 1995)[1] is an English rugby union player for Harlequins in Premiership Rugby. His primary positions are fullback and wing.
Career
Morris started playing rugby for Bedford Junior Blues at the age of five.[2] He played fly-half until the age of 16 but then switched to fullback; at 17 he became Bedford Blues' youngest player in the professional era.[3] From the age of 18 he was training with Saracens.[3][2]
Morris never made a first team appearance for Saracens but also spent time on loan at London Scottish, making his debut against Munster A in the British and Irish Cup.[4] His signing for Harlequins was announced on 18 May 2016,[5] with Morris extending his contract in 2017[6] and again in 2019.[7]
Harlequins won the 2020–21 Premiership Rugby title but Morris picked up an injury in the semi-final against Bristol meaning he missed the final against Exeter.[8]
