Justin Morrow doesn’t say much, preferring to do his talking on the field. But his play for TFC speaks volumes. (JohnMolinaro)
In that time, Morrow has established himself as one of the top defenders in MLS, averaging 28 starts per season over the previous four years, a testament to his durability in a physical league. His best campaign came in 2017 when was named to the MLS Best XI, and was a runner-up in voting for the defender of the year award, playing an integral part in Toronto’s record-setting, treble-winning season.
No surprise, then, that his game has evolved since coming to Toronto, developing into a genuine attacking threat. He only scored twice during his four-year stint in San Jose when he was more of a traditional defender. During his tenure in Toronto, he’s scored 16 goals, including a career-high eight in 2017, and worked his way back into contention for the U.S. national team.
Bradley holds things down in midfield, Drew Moor anchors the defence, Pozuelo and Jonathan Osorio provide the creativity, and Altidore supplies the goals. Morrow is a two-way player, providing Toronto’s attack with width by bombing down the flanks, and doing the dirty defensive work at the back end. He’s often involved in the beginning of attacking actions that lead to goals, and helps snuff out the final actions that routinely lead to goals by the opposition.
