Hereford-born Rhys made the move from Edgar Street to begin his journey in an academy environment at The Hawthorns. 

Joining up with the Baggies' scholars in the summer of 2023, Morrish is - as described by 18s boss Leigh Downing - an "old-fashioned" centre-half who throws his body on the line when defending, with the academy staff intent on improving his technical abilities during his time at Albion. 

Rhys received his first call-up to the Wales national side in August 2023, and earned his first cap during a Syrenka Cup clash with Romania. 

Having played plenty of football above his age group with Hereford's U18s prior to joining the Baggies, the defender will be confident of developing into another promising centre-half during his time in navy-blue-and-white - having already started plenty of football in Albion's 18s.
