About Conor Morrison
Born 1996.
Inter-county Under the management of Rory Gallagher, Morrison was named as a replacement for the 2017 Ulster Senior Football Championship match against Antrim.
Under the management of Declan Bonner, Morrison played the full final of the 2018 Dr McKenna Cup, which Donegal won and ended Tyrone's six-year streak of wins.
Morrison started against Tyrone and Monaghan in the 2018 National Football League, completing both games. He also came on as a substitute against Mayo in the same competition. His game-time was limited, first by concussion then by a fractured ankle sustained during a training session following the league game against Kildare (in which he did not play).
Morrison started against Clare and Meath (regular fixture, not the final) in the 2019 National Football League, completing both games. He did not feature in any further games, as Donegal won the National Football League Division 2 title.
In April 2019, it was reported that Morrison had left the Donegal panel. He thus missed Donegal's 2019 Ulster Senior Football Championship title win.
He returned to the Donegal senior panel ahead of the 2020 Dr McKenna Cup.
Morrison made one substitute appearance for Donegal in the 2020 National Football League, in the opening fixture against Mayo. Then the COVID-19 pandemic brought play to a halt.
With play resuming locally in August, Morrison sustained another injury while performing for his club at Fintra during the 2020 Donegal Senior Football Championship (Round 3 of the League Stage) and was stretchered from the field of play. He later described the experience as follows: "It was August 16. When I went down, there was a pop and a sort of tear. And you just know. Usually, you get a bang and you think about getting back up. I knew I wasn't getting back up. There was just that amount of pain".
Style of play Donegal senior manager Declan Bonner described Morrison as follows in one of his newspaper columns in 2020: "I've worked with Conor since he was 16, and I don't know if I've ever come across anyone who revels in stopping opposition players more than he does".
After Donegal's exit from the 2019 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, former player Brendan Devenney noted Morrison's earlier departure from the panel as follows: "We don't have a centre half back, we don't have a full-back and we're short an out and out corner-back… Where young Conor Morrison went, I'm not sure… We hopefully will have another look at [him]. He looked like a tigerish corner-back".
