Bernard Morrison (born 20 May 1993) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a forward for AS FAR in Botola Pro.[1] He has played in the national leagues of Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Tanzania and Morocco.

Club career

[edit]

Morrison was signed by South African club Orlando Pirates in mid-2016.[2]

In January 2020, Morrison joined Young Africans S.C. in Tanzania.[3]

Morrison signed for Simba SC in August 2020.[4] Young Africans, rivals of Simba SC, appealed to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), alleging that Morrison had signed a two-year contract renewal. The TFF found that Morrison was a free agent and he went on to play for Simba.[5] In November 2021, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the Young Africans appeal.[6]

In July 2022, Morrison rejoined Young Africans.[7]

Morrison signed for AS FAR in September 2023.[8] In November, having played seven times in the league for AS FAR, Morrison injured his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for the rest of the season.[9]
