Oli Morris (born 19 August 1999) is an English-born, Irish-qualified rugby union player. He plays primarily as a centre, though he can also play as a winger.
Morris' first professional club was Saracens, for whom he made two appearances in the Anglo-Welsh Cup as part of their youth setup. Whilst with Saracens, Morris was dual-registered with Ampthill and won National League 1 with the club during the 2018–19 season.[1]
Morris joined the Worcester Warriors academy ahead of the 2019–20,[1] and signed his first senior contract with the club in February 2021.[2] Worcester were placed into administration in September 2022.[3]
Following Worcester's administration, Morris, who is Irish-qualified, joined United Rugby Championship club Munster on a contract until the end of the 2022–23 season,[4] at which point he was released by the province.[5]
Morris represented England under-18s, but is also Irish-qualified through a grandmother, and was selected in the Ireland under-20s squad for the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship, playing in friendlies for Leinster and Munster development teams against the under-20s in the build-up to the tournament.[6]
