Millwall's Steve Morison gets a good vibe back at The Den

Steve Morison wants to help bring the good times back to Millwall after returning for a third spell at The Den.

Morison rejoined the club from Leeds last week and scored on his debut as the Lions started in League One with a 2-1 victory at Shrewsbury on Saturday.

The 31-year-old, who spent two seasons with Millwall between 2009 and 2011 and returned on loan in 2013, is desperate to get the club back into the Championship.

Millwall and Morison appear to be a perfect fit and his signing is a huge boost for manager Neil Harris as he looks to build a “Millwall team of old”.

Morison is in line to play against Barnet in the Capital One Cup tonight and he said: “I know what this place is all about. I know what is expected and all I’m worried about is getting this club where they need to be in the Championship.

“I’ve had some great times here but I was disappointed with my performances when I came back on loan and feel like I have a point to prove. There were some fitness issues but there is a different vibe around the place now.

“Everyone is here for the right reasons and everyone has got a willingness to work hard. When you have got that you are halfway there. You can tell you are walking into a happy place, which is great.”

Morison, who signed a one‑year deal, played alongside Harris during his first spell at the club and believes his game is well suited to Millwall.

“I work hard and run around, which is what the fans ask as a minimum,” he said. “That is appreciated at Millwall, but it can go unnoticed at other clubs, where it is about how many times you score from 30 yards, how many Cruyff turns or how many stepovers you can do. And I am not very good at any of that stuff! The gaffer knows what I can do.”
