Josh Morris (rugby league)

Joshua Morris (born 23 August 1986) is a former Australian professional rugby league footballer who last played as a centre for the Sydney Roosters in the NRL and Australia at international level.

He played for the St. George Illawarra Dragons, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the National Rugby League.

He is the twin brother of Brett Morris, and they played for the Sydney Roosters, St. George Illawarra Dragons and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs together.

They are the sons of former St. George Dragons, New South Wales and Australian rugby league representative Steve Morris.

He joined the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for the 2009 NRL season in the hope of securing a permanent starting spot in the centres.

In round 3 of the 2010 NRL season, he scored the first 4-try haul of his first grade career in Canterbury's 60–14 drubbing of the Sydney Roosters.

[7] On 10 July 2018, Morris signed a two-year deal to join Cronulla-Sutherland starting in 2019 due to the salary cap crisis at Canterbury where the club needed to offload players.

Morris was in talks with the Gold Coast Titans but ultimately decided to join Cronulla as he would have a chance to play under coach Shane Flanagan.

[13] In February 2020, it was reported by the media that Morris had handed in a transfer request to the Cronulla board citing that he wished to join his brother Brett at the Sydney Roosters.

My brother isn’t just any old mate, this is the bloke who I started this journey with, “Now another opportunity has presented itself and I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t try and make it happen".

After much internal discussion and following lengthy negotiations with the Sydney Roosters, the release request has been granted ultimately due to circumstances surrounding the Sharks salary cap, a situation which has been impacted by previous infringements."
