Ian Morris (born 27 February 1987) is an Irish football midfielder who plays for Torquay United after being released from Scunthorpe United at the end of the 2010/11 season.
[edit] Career
Dublin-born Morris came through the youth ranks at Leeds United. After being on the fringes of the first-team squad, he spent the majority of the 2005–06 season on loan at Blackpool, for whom he scored twelve goals in 30 appearances before returning to Leeds United, where he was a reserve team player, usually playing as a left-sided midfielder or striker.
Morris had two loan spells with Chesterfield during the 2009–10 season. In July 2010, he signed a year-long loan deal to return to the Spireites for the 2010–11 campaign.[1]
On 18 July 2011, Morris signed for Torquay United on a two-year deal.[2] He made his debut for the club in the 2–2 draw with Burton Albion on the opening day of the 2011–12 season.
