Ian Morris (born 27 February 1987) is an Irish footballer who plays for St Patrick's Athletic as a midfielder.

Career

Dublin-born Morris came through the youth ranks at Leeds United. After being on the fringes of the first-team squad, he spent the majority of the 2005–06 season on loan at Blackpool, for whom he scored twelve goals in 30 appearances before returning to Leeds United, where he was a reserve team player, usually playing as a left-sided midfielder or striker.

Morris had two loan spells with Chesterfield during the 2009–10 season. In July 2010, he signed a year-long loan deal to return to the Spireites for the 2010–11 campaign.[1] Morris played 21 games in the 2010–11 season which saw Chesterfield win the Football League Two title.

On 18 July 2011, Morris signed for Torquay United on a two-year deal.[2] He made his debut for the club in the 2–2 draw with Burton Albion on the opening day of the 2011–12 season.

Morris signed for Northampton Town on 26 June 2013.[3]

On the 23rd of July 2015, Morris returned home to Dublin and signed for League of Ireland club St Patrick's Athletic.[4] He made his debut the next day, in a 3–0 win away to Sligo Rovers. Morris scored the winning penalty in a 4–2 penalty shoot-out win against Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers, to put Pats' into the 2015 League of Ireland Cup Final.[5]
