Morris reached the last 48 of two ranking tournaments during the 2009/10 season - though he is still waiting to qualify for his first venue.
In the Grand Prix qualifiers he beat Michael White and Rory McLeod before falling to Jamie Cope. Then in the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship he knocked out Mei Xiwen and Jamie Burnett to leave himself one win away from the Crucible...but he went down 10-6 to Michael Holt.
Morris ended the season one place down on the world ranking list, at No 59.
Morris is considered one of the Republic of Ireland’s brightest prospects since his friend and practice partner Ken Doherty burst on to the scene.
In an exceptional junior career, his honours included being RIBSA champion at six different age levels from under-14 to under-21 and becoming the only player to win the All Ireland Senior Championship three consecutive times (2004-06). His first triumph in that event made him the youngest Irish champion in history.
In finishing top of the Irish rankings in 2006 he qualified for a place on the pro Tour for the first time.
Morris, who believes his key strengths are potting and break-building, grew up in a house in Kilkenny numbered 147.
