In what looked like a farewell message to Pirates, Morrison took to his official Instagram account to thank Pirates and described the move to Chippa as ‘fake news’.

“Let me start by saying many thanks to the chairman and @orlandopirates as a whole for opening up their home to me. I will forever be grateful for that,” wrote Morrison.
