Steve Morison opens up on Sean Morrison future:
Saturday 5th March 2022
Steve Morison has shed some light about conversations he held with the board relating to Sean Morrison's future.
Morrison is out for the season after a nasty ACL injury he sustained up at Barnsley, with the Bluebirds captain's deal up at the end of the season.
And the Bluebirds boss has said that he held conversations with the board to see "if we could do something" about Morrison's future, going on to state it was the least he deserved.
On BBC's Football Daily, Morison's former Millwall team-mate and good friend Jed Wallace brought Morrison's situation to the fore. Wallace said the Lions showed loyalty to Morison at the latter stages of his career and wondered whether Cardiff would do the same for the centre-back.
Wallace asked: "With the role he has in the group, is it something that, with the loyalty Millwall showed you and vice-versa, would the club still look to keep him beyond this season, knowing his injury, and look after him? He's obviously a club legend and been great for the club."
To which Morison responded: "Yeah, of course.
"When [the injury] happened, I said straight away, I spoke to him and said I would speak to the board and we would see if we could do something for him, because he deserves that.
"It was difficult because I didn't have a contract, so it was hard for me to push too hard on those things.
"Obviously now it's in place, I can push harder on those things. Isaak Davies just signed a new four-year deal which is something I had in the pipeline, but the family and player wanted to know what was happening with myself and the club.
"Things will escalate and move a lot more quickly now."
P.S. As an aside, Morison revealed on the show he had four dogs, a cat and bearded dragons as pets!
Steve Morison has also asked the Cardiff City board if he can keep Joe Ralls and offer Ralls a new contract.
