“It was very unfortunate that the season was cut short because since joining in January I was having a great time. I got on well with the lads in the dressing and felt a real connection with the fans and the Football Club in general.
“This is a Club really on the up under the gaffer and with the squad that we’ve got. it’s an exciting time to be part of things and we’ll be looking as high as we can next season.”
He added: “For me, last season was, at times, just about getting through the games after coming back from a long-term injury. I’m feeling great and I’m looking forward to kicking on next season.”
Morris tallied 38 appearances last season during loan spells with Rotherham United and the Dons, scoring six goals and providing five assists.
