Owen Morrison

The Brandywell born footballer had a brief spell under Felix Healy with Derry City before joining Sheffield Wednesday where he made his Premiership debut for The Owls at the age of 17 against Leicester City.

Morrison signed for Sheffield Wednesday in 1998 and had a loan spell with Hull City before signing for cross city rivals Sheffield United in 2003. The Derry man left Bramall Lane after only eight months and then joined Stockport County. After an initial loan period with Yorkshire team, Bradford City, he signed for The Bantams scoring two goals in 36 periods.

Morrison then left the Coral Windows Stadium and was successful in a trial with Scottish Premier Division side Dunfermline Athletic in July 2006 and scored his first goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Rangers. Having spent almost two seasons with the Pars, Morrison now returns to Derry City where he will rekindle his relationship with former Dunfermline boss, Stephen Kenny.

The 26-year-old has joined the Candy Stripes until the end of December 2008 and said that he hopes he can convince the Derry City manager that he has what it takes to warrant a long-term future at the club.
