With Leeds United sitting 11th in the Championship ahead of the winter transfer window closing, manager Neil Warnock was in need of attacking reinforcements - and he duly added to his side.

On January 31, 2013, Steve Morison was signed from Premier League Norwich City on a three-and-a-half year deal.

The transfer was a swap deal with Luciano Becchio going the other way in place of the club’s new number nine.

The initial reaction to the signing was mostly positive from the club’s supporters on Twitter to the announcement of the now Millwall man’s arrival.

Morison moved to the Championship side after 19 Premier League appearances for Norwich, scoring twice, with a handful of Wales appearances to his name, too.

The striker made his debut in the 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers before another goalless appearance in the 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough.

Leeds’ fans would not have to wait much longer for his first goal, when, on his Elland Road debut, Morison added the second in a comfortable 2-0 win over Blackpool as the Whites moved up to ninth in the table.

Two more goals would follow that season, a brace in the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Warnock did not last the season as Leeds failed to make the play-offs

Morison was a favourite of the former United boss, and with his time at an end, the striker’s future looked uncertain.

The following year he was loaned back to Millwall after just 15 Championship appearances for the Elland Road club with new boss Brian McDermott not considering him for a place in his squad.

Morison bagged eight goals in 42 appearances before heading back to Elland Road the following year after McDermott was sacked and replaced with David Hockaday.

He would play 26 times for the Whites in 2014/15, scoring just twice, in the final three matches of the season under three different managers.

That would signal the end of his Leeds career. It was a signing that excited the Leeds faithful, but the goals weren’t forthcoming as the supporters would have hoped.

Dubbed ‘the shift’ during his time with the Yorkshire clubs his work rate was unquestionable but it was in the final third that was lacking for the striker.

A target man and a player who was made for the previous manager of Warnock, he failed to fit in with other managers, being disregard altogether by McDermott for the season.

After his move away to former club, Millwall made permanent in 2015; many Leeds fans voiced their satisfaction.

It was a signing that initially excited the Leeds faithful, but it was one that never really worked out, with him reaching nowhere near his best that had been exhibited during his first spell with Millwall before a move to Premier League Norwich.

The reaction was favourable, but the opinions of him leaving tells you all you need to know about the success - or lack of - this signing.
