Morrison scored in each half to give the Buccaneers a 2-0 win and a spot in the last 16 of the competittion at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank the management and technical team for giving me the chance to play for the club again because there were lots of talks before of me wanting to leave, but I thank the club management for standing by me and giving me the opportunity to play for the club again,” Morrison told SuperSport after the game.

Morrison also revealed the talk he had with Pirates assistant coach Rhulani Mokwena before the game.
“I had a meeting with Rhulani in the hotel, and he said he is giving me the opportunity to perform. I have to prove to the supporters and myself that I can do better. So if I didn’t grab this opportunity there’s no way I was going to represent this club again. So I had to prove to Rhulani that I deserve the opportunity giving to me,” concluded Morris.
Do you think Morrison deserves a chance to start more games at Pirates?
