New contract for Morris

We are delighted to announce that Ella Morris has signed a new, long-term contract with the Club.

Having joined us in July, 2024, the 23-year-old impressed in her debut season in the Barclays Women’s Super League last term, earning her first call-up to the Lionesses senior squad in May last year. Ella is currently on the journey to recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that has ruled her out since the end of last season.

Ella Morris said: “I’m very excited. It’s an amazing club to be a part of. Just seeing the growth of the team from last season to this season, how Martin (Ho) has come in and given the girls a sense of belief. It’s an exciting time to be a part of it, where we’re pushing in the league now. It’s definitely a club with ambition, and a club I want to be a part of.”

Our Head Coach Martin said: “Ella is one of the most exciting young full-backs in the country and we are absolutely delighted that she has committed her future to Tottenham Hotspur. To earn a Lionesses call-up at such a young age says everything about her quality, and the way she has attacked her ACL recovery shows the mentality we value so highly here.

“From a football perspective, Ella gives us a rare profile, she is dynamic, powerful and brave, with the ability to defend at intensity and also impact the game in the attacking third. Her athleticism, timing of forward runs and quality in possession allow her to stretch teams, create overloads and bring real threat down the flank.

“We also believe she has significant scope to keep developing here, and our staff are excited about the areas we can add even more value to her game as she moves into the next phase of her career. As she returns to full fitness, we see Ella as a huge part of our future, and we can’t wait to have her back on the grass with the group again very soon.”

Previously at Southampton, where she made over 100 senior appearances for the Saints as an Academy graduate, the flying full-back made her Spurs and WSL debut away at Chelsea in October, 2024, after an injury-hampered start to the 2024/25 campaign.

The defender caught the eye with an impressive run of performances in the second half of the season, completing every minute in our last eight games in the WSL – featuring in 13 games in total – and scored her first goal for the Club in a league clash with Aston Villa in April, 2025.

Her excellent displays down the right flank saw her named the Club’s Junior Supporters’ Player of the Season 2024/25.
