Morrison went on to sign for Ayr United in summer 1937, but before playing a match for them he was charged with housebreaking, having broken into an unoccupied Ayrshire cottage following a bout of drinking with friends, living there for some time and eventually selling off the contents. His registration was cancelled by Ayr United and he moved to Ireland to play for Drumcondra, where his career was ended in March 1939 by a badly broken leg for which he received a compensation payment at court some months later. He worked as a coach in Ireland, and continued this back in England after World War II also working at the Greene King brewery in Biggleswade.
