Phil Morris Speedway Wife and Net Worth 2022

Yes, Phil Morris is married. His wife’s name is Katie Morris. Unfortunately, Katie passed away on October 14. Phil and Katie were the parents of two daughters. 

The news of Katie was unexpected, and Phil shared the sad news on his Twitter, stating- “It’s with a very heavy heart, I inform you that my Beautiful wife Katie has ‘died’ peacefully on Tuesday. Her life will always be remembered by all that knew her. My daughters and I feel touched by the outpouring of love shown towards her. Katie left this world but not my heart.”

Similarly, Wattsville FC also announced the demise of Katie on their Twitter account. Born in 1976, Katie left this world at the age of 46. Every fan and follower of the speed rider passed their sympathy and sent love to Phil and his daughters at this time.

Phil Morris, the veteran speedway rider, has a sizable net worth in 2022. At nine, Phil Morris won the Welsh Schoolboy Grasstrack Championship. Two years later, he also won the British Youth Grasstrack Championship, which he did five times.

A few days before turning 16, the Reading Racers signed him. The Welsh adolescent, who entered first-team play right away in the 1991 season, was then named to the Racers’ starting lineup for the 1992 campaign and was a member of the squad that won the British League championship that year.

Morris played an essential role in Reading’s team during the following five years, and even if the team did not duplicate its 1992-93 season’s success, the Welshman had made a name for himself in the game.

Phil joined the Birmingham Brummies in 2008 on a complete transfer. Morris was involved in a collision at Mildenhall in early April, leaving him with severe internal injuries. When he returned to combat in late May, he was also hurt- this time by a severely dislocated shoulder at Rye House.

Phil Morris has had appearances on various UK game shows, such as The Weakest Link, Brainbox Challenge, where he won a sizeable sum of money, and Eggheads.

Phil Morris spent the 1997 season away from Reading as his hometown, Newport Wasps, decided against offering him a contract. Morris then went on loan to Stoke Potters before returning to Reading for the 1998 campaign.

Morris established himself as a Premier League powerhouse in 1999, carrying that momentum into the 2000 campaign, winning Newport Speedway’s New Year Classic on January 2, 2000, the first speedway race of the new year.

Phil Morris’ tenth season at Reading Speedway began in 2000, and to celebrate, he was given a testimonial race, which brought over 3000 fans to Reading’s Smallmead Stadium.

The Speedway rider showed he was one of the Premier League’s top riders in 2001 and 2002, finishing third in the 2002 Premier League Riders’ Championship at Belle Vue.

His 2003 season was cut short by a knee injury sustained in Sweden, but he returned for 2004 and showed he was healthy by scoring a season-high 12 points against King’s Lynn Stars in his first game back.

Even though 2004 would be his final full-time season playing for Reading, he also had one of his greatest sporting triumphs when he and Danny Bird won the Premier League Riders Pairs Championship.

Morris signed a contract with the Newcastle Diamonds for the 2005 campaign. Phil did not quite live up to expectations because of minor injuries. He signed with Elite League Belle Vue in 2006, a squad captained by his longtime buddy and multiple world champion Jason Crump.

Morris had a 4+12 point average at the end of the season. Ten years after they had terminated his contract, he was allowed to ride for his hometown club Newport for the 2007 season.

He was typically their leading scorer, but the squad underperformed, and attendance plummeted, which forced the club to slash costs and Morris to accept a transfer to fellow Premier League team Birmingham.

Although the Welshman returned to the saddle in 2009, signing to ride for the Stoke Potters in the Premier League and starting the season well with some good performances, problems with his shoulder meant his scoring slumped, and he was axed from the side. He then went to ride for the Workington Comets, where he struggled once more to score points. 

Additionally, Phil played twice for the Lakeside Hammers in the Elite League, turning in many solid performances. But in August, he fell hard at Workington, and his shoulder dislocated severely.

Phil decided to stop the racing speedway on the recommendation of the medical staff to prevent permanent shoulder damage. In September 2009, Morris, then 34, declared his retirement from competitive Speedway. At Birmingham Speedway, Morris held his final meeting two years later, in September 2011.
