Morris needs help to realise an international rugby dream

Morris, 29, from Worthing, plays for the England deaf rugby team and is looking for sponsorship to go to South Africa, where England will face the host nation’s deaf team.

He has so far raised just over £400 but needs £2,000 for the August adventure.

Morris, who has played rugby since he was 15 and also plays at Horsham RFC, said: “Last year I had the amazing opportunity to go to Argentina to play in the World Deaf Rugby 7s made possible by generous funds raised.

"This year I have been offered another amazing opportunity to go to South Africa to play for the England deaf team.

"This was meant to happen in 2020 but was cancelled because of Covid.

"This year it's back on and I'd really appreciate it if anyone could spare a little to help me towards this amazing opportunity.

"Playing for my country is a huge honour and I'd love to be able to head to South Africa in the summer for a trip of a lifetime.

"I've played in six Test matches, one World Deaf 7s tournament in Argentina and about six community games with the England deaf side so far.”
