Born in Chirk, Wales, he gained three caps for the Welsh national team. CareerClub careerMorris was first spotted by Ardwick when playing for Chirk in the Welsh cup and the Manchester side duly signed him in 1891. Morris was the leading goalscorer for the club in the 1891–92 Football Alliance season, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, including a hat-trick against Walsall Town Swifts.[1] The following season Ardwick were admitted to the newly formed Football League Second Division and Morris played in the club's first ever Football League fixture, scoring twice as Ardwick beat Bootle 7–0.[2] Morris continued to play regularly for Ardwick before he was transferred to Sheffield United, then of the First Division in December 1893.[2] He became a regular in United's first team for the following 18 months, having rejected an offer to play in the United States in 1894, and made 39 league appearances, scoring nine goals for the Yorkshire club.[2] In September 1895 Morris was suspended for "lodging in a public house" (the club was run on strict Methodist lines at the time and this was against the terms of his contract),[2] before being transferred back to Ardwick, now renamed Manchester City, in the following November along with Joe Davies and Bob Hill.[2] Returning to Hyde Road, Morris made 20 appearances in his second spell at the Manchester club, before moving to Grimsby Town in May 1896 where he played for a further season. Morris moved to Southern League side Millwall in the summer of 1897, but contracted tuberculosis not long after his transfer and died before he could make his debut.[3] International careerWhile at Sheffield United Morris won his first cap for Wales in a British Home Championship match against Scotland on 24 March 1894. Morris scored twice, but Wales lost 5–2.[4] Morris gained a second international cap in a 9–1 defeat to England in March 1896 and earned the last of his three international caps in March 1897, a 4–0 defeat against England at his former club ground Bramall Lane.[3] References1. ^{{cite book|last=James|first=Gary|title=Manchester City – The Complete Record|publisher=Breedon|location=Derby|year=2006|isbn=1-85983-512-0|p=269}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Morris, Hugh}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|author=Denis Clarebrough & Andrew Kirkham|title=Sheffield United Who's Who|publisher=Hallamshire Press|year=2008|p=233|isbn=978-1-874718-69-7}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|title=Who's Who of Welsh International Soccer Players|last1=Davies|first1=Gareth|last2=Garland|first2=Ian|year=1991|publisher=Bridge Books|isbn=1-872424-11-2|page=146}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wfda.co.uk/international_details.php?id=48 |title=Welsh International Matches|publisher=Welsh Football Data Archive|accessdate=18 February 2008}} 12 : 1872 births|People from Chirk|1897 deaths|Welsh footballers|Wales international footballers|Association football forwards|Manchester City F.C. players|Sheffield United F.C. players|Grimsby Town F.C. players|Millwall F.C. players|English Football League players|19th-century deaths from tuberculosis |
