Ella Morris joined Tottenham Hotspur because they are a team with “ambition”.
The defender moved to Spurs in 2024 and feels that the Women’s Super League side are moving in the right direction as they bid to challenge the leading sides in the division.
Morris told Match magazine: “I keep saying it so much, but all these girls are so lovely. It’s a team with ambition, and I want to be a part of that. I’m ambitious as well and I think it really aligns!”
The full-back left Southampton to move to Spurs and she admits that it was a challenging decision to move on from her childhood club.
She said: “It was super tough! I’m a Saints fan through and through, so I had that loyalty to want to stay with the club and help them push up through the leagues. It came to a point for my personal development to be a little bit selfish, which was a tough decision to make, but I’ve definitely made the right decision!”
Meanwhile, Morris revealed that she goes for walks in Epping Forest as it reminds her of home near the New Forest.
She said: “I’m a New Forest girl, so I’m used to having the forest on my doorstep, but Epping Forest isn’t too far. That’s like my home away from home. I can go on a little forest walk and feel like I’m home!”
Morris also explained how she enjoys cooking pasta and likes to experiment with different recipes.
She said: “I can make pasta from scratch! I like experimenting with new recipes so I get a little bit excited if I see a new recipe. I’m like, ‘I’m going to try to cook that this week!'”
