“I’m buzzing to be back on board again” says Morris after signing new deal with Fax

The 24 year old prop enters his sixth year with Fax after joining the club’s reserve ranks back in 2016. He has made 83 appearances so far, scoring eight tries. And Morris was ready to do it all again in the blue and white of Halifax.

“I’m buzzing to be back on board again for another year. I have full faith in Simon and I can’t wait to get back down to The Shay again,” he told the club’s website.

Morris has enjoyed a steady rise through the ranks from standout reserve teamer to holding the famous number eight shirt, making his full debut from the bench in a 78-0 challenge cup win over Pilkington Recs in 2016.

As a solidly consistent performer and a real team player, Fax boss Simon Grix was happy to have Elliot in his squad for another campaign.

“Elliot has made steady progress over his years at the club. He is a strong and somewhat awkward ball carrier and packs a punch in defence too. At 24, he is maturing and has his prime ahead of him. I look forward to pre season where we can put the work in to allow Elliot to kick on again.”
