Arizona United Arizona United Soccer Club Re-Signs Defender Scott Morrison

Fan Favorite Agrees to Multi-Year Deal

PEORIA, Ariz. (Thursday, October 30, 2014) – Arizona United Soccer Club announces its second signing of the off-season by coming to terms with defender Scott Morrison on a multi-year deal, pending USL PRO and USSF approval.

Morrison becomes the second player under contract with Arizona United for the 2015 season. Earlier, Arizona United announced the re-signing of USL PRO All-League Second-Team forward Long Tan.

“Scott is the perfect example of how we want our players to be on and off the field,” said Arizona United SC General Manager Kevin Stevenson. “His leadership on the field, presence in the locker room and constant interaction with fans made this decision to bring him back a no brainer. He was a big piece in the puzzle for us during our inaugural season, and we expect the same from him for years to come.”

Morrison signed with Arizona United in March and scored two goals in 24 USL PRO matches. Morrison was named to the USL PRO Team of the Week two times for his goal scoring efforts. The first honor was on June 11, when Morrison’s second-half goal gave Arizona United a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy II. The second came on the heels of Morrison’s match-winning goal in Arizona United’s 1-0 victory over the OKC Energy FC on August 22.

Morrison appeared in all three of Arizona United SC’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches, which earned Arizona United SC the distinction of being the first team from Arizona to compete in the fourth round of the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S.

Morrison joined Arizona United SC after appearing in 25 matches for now defunct Phoenix FC Wolves in 2013.

Hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland, Morrison made his professional debut in 2003 for hometown club Aberdeen F.C., where he logged 40 appearances for the Dons in two seasons.
