“I came to this decision knowing my light is starting to shine brighter off the field than on it right now, and that comes with a lot of joy,” the left back said. “I do know that I want to make this world a better place, but I haven’t decided which way is the best way to do that yet. Maybe it’s politics, maybe it’s a non-profit, maybe it’s running a big company.”
First, he’d like to remain with Toronto FC in some capacity after hanging up his boots.
“I know I want to start with helping this club win, I know I want to stay,” Morrow said. “This club means so much for me. We’ve had positive conversations, so hopefully it works out and I get to stay.”
Toronto have 10 matches remaining in their 2021 campaign, sitting bottom of the overall league table. They also have the Canadian Championship in front of them, with Morrow looking to enjoy the last stretch of his career.
“I’ll miss the camaraderie in the locker room, being with the guys,” Morrow said. “Going through the good times and the bad. There’s just nothing like it I’ve experienced. I’ll miss playing at BMO Field in front of our wonderful fans. I still think it’s the best place in MLS to watch a football match.”
