Jason Morrison (born 7 June 1984) is a Jamaican footballer who is a midfielder who is a FREE AGENT with over 10 years playing experience on the International stage for the Jamaica Men's national football team and various European Clubs in England, Belgium, Hungary and Norway.

Career

Morrison's first senior club was Village United in the Jamaican National Premier League. He signed for Portmore United in 2004 and formed part of their league and cup winning squad that season.[1] After a successful month-long trial with Sheffield United in December 2006,[2] Morrison was sent to their feeder team, White Star Woluwe in Belgium.

After three years of playing in Belgium, Morrison would have qualified for Belgian nationality and thus be eligible to play in the English league.[3] Morrison was transferred to Hungarian partner club, Ferencvárosi TC, in 2008. In August 2010 Morrison signed with Strømsgodset IF in Norway. He helped Strømsgodset qualify for the 2010 Norwegian Football Cup Final, scoring the first goal in extra time against Odd Grenland in the semi-final.

Morrison signed with Norwegian Tippeligaen side Aalesunds FK in 2011. After he missed the 16 May match against Brann due to shortness of breath, the doctors diagnosed him with blood clot which made him unavailable for the rest of the 2013 season.[4] In July 2013, Aalesund and Morrison agreed mutual termination of his contract that lasted till the end of the 2014 season.[5]

International career

Morrison has been selected in numerous Jamaica squads.[6] Morrison featured in the 2008 Caribbean Championship and 2009 Gold Cup for Jamaica.
