Harlequins have announced that back-three player Aaron Morris will be retiring at the end of the season. Morris has been side-lined for the majority of the past two Premiership campaigns, due to a series of unrelenting injuries keeping the 28-year-old out of action. 

Morris arrived at the Twickenham Stoop from London rivals Saracens in 2021, and has since gone on to make 69 appearances for the club, and scored nine tries. Apart of the Quins side that won the 2021 Gallagher Premiership, Morris also won the U20 World Championship with England, alongside Quins teammates Jack Walker and James Chisholm.
