Forward Ben Morris is gearing up for his third season with Le Rouge. Over his time with Detroit City, Morris has appeared in 73 matches, scored 16 goals, accumulated six assists, and played 5,256 minutes for the club.
Morris appeared in every USL Championship match in 2024, starting 31 of the 35 matches. He also appeared in all three US Open Cup matches, starting two. Morris scored ten goals and four assists on the season, including two matches in which he had a brace. In addition, Morris was named the Player’s Player of the Year in 2024, an award voted on by the rest of the Detroit City FC team. Morris’ debut season in 2023 was quite similar, as he appeared in every USL Championship match, starting in 32 of the 33 matches. Morris would finish his debut season with six goals and two assists.
Morris joined DCFC from Ipswich Town after his contract expired at the end of the 2022 season. Morris spent most of his youth career with the now Premier League side, but he spent most of the early parts of his professional career out on loan. Morris made his senior debut with Ipswich as a second-half substitute in a Carabao Cup match at Crystal Palace in 2017, getting an assist for Ipswich’s goal in a 2–1 defeat. Morris spent time on loan with Woking FC and Forest Green Rovers in England and GAIS in Sweden.
