Former Norwich City striker Carlton Morris has revealed why he didn't celebrate scoring against the Canaries for current side Luton Town in the Hatters' 1-0 win at Carrow Road.

Morris spent 15 years with the Canaries after joining the academy aged 11, but made only one senior appearance amongst a swathe of loans with the likes of Oxford, Rotherham and MK Dons.

In 2021 he made a permanent move to Barnsley, before joining Luton last summer after the Tykes' relegation to League One. He's been a success so far in Bedfordshire, with yesterday's goal his seventh of the campaign.

He didn't celebrate it, however, remaining collected after cutting inside Grant Hanley to curl home. The 26-year-old explained that this was because of the relationships he built while recovering from a year-long absence with a knee injury, which he sustained on loan at Shrewsbury.

"I spent a whole year doing rehab here (at Norwich), so I've got a close relationship with a lot of the lads here," he said. "It was good to see them tonight but once you cross that white line there's no friends, it's business time.

"I've got a lot of respect for this club. In my darkest time as a footballer when I did my ACL rehab they had my back and that is not something you forget."

Morris nearly scored from a similar scenario when Luton beat QPR last weekend, but he was pleased his manoeuvre came off on this occasion. "It's something I try," he continued. "I did it on the weekend against QPR and the defender fell over, but he blocked it when he was falling down on the floor.

"So I was watching those clips the other day and I thought there was other ways I could have gone about that. If I’ve done him, he's gone on the floor, chop back in and go on the left foot.

"But tonight, thankfully it opened up a gap for me to hit the target."
