Morris had trials with Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire before joining Hampshire. He played 37 first-class matches as a right-handed opening batsman, enjoying his best season in 1994 when he averaged 49 and scored a career best 174 against Nottinghamshire. Unable to secure a regular place in the Hampshire line-up, Morris was released in 1996, his final innings a century against Cambridge University.{{cite news |last1=Hopps |first1=David |title=Cricket: Morris dances to the compelling tune of big-time Twenty20 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/apr/25/cricket |access-date=12 January 2020 |work=The Guardian |date=25 April 2008}}
