Playing career


Morrow has played for Crusaders as a midfielder since making his debut in 2003, and was voted Ulster Young Footballer of the Year in 2003–04.[1] He was a fan favourite for Crusaders for several years, and was instrumental in their promotion back to the Irish Premier Division,[2] and was part of both the Irish Cup and County Antrim Shield winning sides. He was also named in the Irish League Select XI in 2008.[3]

On 30 October 2010 in a league victory against Coleraine, he pulled on the goalkeeping jersey for the final 10 minutes, after Niall Murphy had been sent off. He kept a clean sheet for the remainder of the match despite intense pressure.,[4] and repeated the feat later that season against Newry City, this time playing as goalkeeper for a full hour after goalkeeper Chris Keenan was stretchered off.[5] That season he also scored the winning goal against Linfield at Seaview, the first time the Crues had beaten the Blues since 1999.[6]

On 28 January 2012, Morrow scored the only goal of the Irish League Cup final victory over Coleraine.[7]

He was named Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association Player of the Year for 2011–12.[8]

In October 2014, he suffered a broken ankle against Linfield. It was another in a succession of injuries, having broken his leg several years previously.[9] In January 2016, having not appeared for the Crusaders first team since then and to aid his recovery, he joined Glentoran on loan.[10]

Following his release from Crusaders, Morrow signed for NIFL Premiership side Carrick Rangers.

In June 2018, he signed for NIFL Championship side Harland & Wolff Welders.
