Steve Morison
Steven William Morison (born 29 August 1983) is a professional football manager and former footballer who was most recently manager of National League club Sutton United. He played as a centre-forward during a 19-year career, scoring 242 goals in 697 appearances.
Morison began his career at Northampton Town, making his first-team debut in 2002, before joining Conference South club Bishop's Stortford in November 2004. He signed for Stevenage Borough in August 2006, scoring the winning goal in the 2007 FA Trophy final, the first competitive cup final to be held at the new Wembley Stadium, and helped the club lift the trophy again in 2009. Across three seasons, he scored 86 goals in 151 appearances for Stevenage, which places him second on the club's all-time goalscoring list. He joined Millwall for £130,000 ahead of the 2009–10 season, contributing to their promotion to the Championship in his first season.
He signed for Premier League club Norwich City in June 2011 and later joined Leeds United in January 2013, spending a season back on loan at Millwall before rejoining permanently in August 2015. Morison scored the decisive goal in the 2017 League One play-off final as Millwall returned to the Championship. He finished his Millwall career with 92 goals in 343 appearances, placing him third on the club's all-time goalscoring list. He concluded his playing career at Shrewsbury Town, retiring in October 2019. Internationally, he earned 20 caps for Wales, scoring once, having previously represented England C, scoring three goals in eight appearances.
Following retirement, Morison obtained coaching qualifications, working with Northampton Town's under-18 team before joining Cardiff City as under-23 coach. He served briefly as Cardiff's caretaker manager before being appointed first-team manager in November 2021, a position he held until September 2022. He became manager of Hornchurch in June 2023 before taking charge of Sutton United in January 2024, leaving the role in September 2025.
Born in Enfield, London, Morison attended Enfield Grammar School, leaving school at the age of 16 with a single GCSE qualification. He subsequently earned a National Diploma in sports science.
Morison joined Northampton Town as part of the club's youth system following a successful trial period, having also spent time on trial at Leicester City. Upon turning 18, he signed a two-year professional contract with Northampton. He impressed manager Kevan Broadhurst and subsequently made his first-team debut at the end of the 2001–02 season, in a 2–2 draw against Cambridge United. The following season, Morison played a largely peripheral role as a substitute, making 15 appearances and scoring his first goal for Northampton in a 2–2 draw against Plymouth Argyle. He played just five times during the 2003–04 season, scoring once. He was offered a new six-month contract on 10 June 2004 and was informed by manager Colin Calderwood that he would need to prove his value to the team.
Morison played the opening five matches of the club's 2004–05 season but failed to score. He made two further appearances for the club, scoring Northampton's equaliser away at Darlington on 18 September 2004. The following month, Morison signed for Conference South club Bishop's Stortford for an undisclosed fee. He scored on his debut in a 1–1 draw against Redbridge. He helped Bishop's Stortford reach the semi-final of the FA Trophy and ended the season as both the club's top goalscorer and the 2004–05 FA Trophy leading goalscorer. In the following season, Morison initially struggled for form and was used primarily as a substitute during the first two months of the season. He returned to the starting line-up for a match against Histon in November 2005, scoring a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory. Morison scored 15 times over the course of the season.
After opening the 2006–07 season by scoring two goals in two matches for Bishop's Stortford, Morison joined Conference National club Stevenage Borough on a two-year contract in August 2006 for a "small four figure fee". He scored on his debut in a 3–2 defeat against Crawley Town on 19 August 2006, and followed this up with a hat-trick against Morecambe in a 3–3 draw at Christie Park in the club's next fixture. Morison scored regularly during his debut season, contributing to the club's success in the FA Trophy, where he finished as the competition's top goalscorer with eight goals. This included scoring the winning goal in the final in May 2007 against Kidderminster Harriers, as Stevenage overturned a 2–0 deficit to win 3–2 at Wembley Stadium in front of a competition-record crowd of 53,262. Morison made 53 appearances during the season, scoring 34 times in all competitions and finishing as the club's leading goalscorer.
