Harlequins back three Aaron Morris will be retiring at the end
of the season, following a series of serious injuries which have
seen him side-lined for much of the last two seasons. Morris,
28, joined Quins from London rivals Saracens ahead of the
2016/17 season and has since made 69 appearances for the Club,
scoring 45 points. Having started his rugby career at Bedford
Blues and Biddenham School, aged 18 he signed his first
professional contract with Saracens and remained dual registered
with Bedford to continue his development in the Championship. In
2014, Morris won the U20 World Championship with England
alongside Harlequins teammates James Chisholm and Jack Walker. A
Premiership winner with Harlequins in 2021, Morris made his 64th
appearance in the semi-final before sadly picking up an injury
during the game. Commenting on his departure, Morris said: “This
has been a very difficult decision and made with a heavy heart.
The last two seasons have been incredibly challenging as I have
battled with multiple serious injuries, bringing both physical
and emotional pain. It is time for me to find the joy that rugby
once gave me in something else. Whilst my career is shorter than
I would have liked, I retire proudly with Premiership winners
medal and as a Junior World Champion. I want to thank the Club,
my teammates, the supporters and my family for all their
support. I hope I have made them proud”. Harlequins Head Coach
Tabai Matson said: “We will be sorry to see Aaron go. He has
been desperately unlucky with injuries and while his career has
been shorter than we all would have liked, he can feel very
proud of his achievements in the Quarters. We are always sorry
to see good men leave our club and Aaron’s departure will leave
a massive hole. We wish him all the best for the future knowing
with his capabilities he will transition successfully and will
probably be an exemplar for other players”.

Always sad to see a players career curtailed by injury, but
sounds like the right call. Best of luck Aaron in your new
venture.

That’s a really emotional and moving read from Morris’ own
announcement. I’ve definitely been critical of him before, but
that makes you realise the toll professional rugby can take on
people physically and mentally. A great club man and wish him
all the best wherever the future takes him
