Anthony Moris


Anthony Moris is a Luxembourgish footballer who is currently playing for Virton.

Career

He played his first friendly match for Standard Liège against R.F.C. Amay where he kept a clean sheet.
Moris was the choice goalkeeper for Standard Liège for the 2008–2009 season. He was contracted until 2010 with Standard and extended his contract three more years.
In January 2014, Moris was loaned out to then-Belgian First Division B club Sint-Truiden. He made his competitive debut for the club on 1 February 2014 in a 1–1 home draw with Roeselare, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Davy Schollen. He played in just eight more competitive matches during the duration of his loan, with three in the league and five in the playoffs. Moris kept four clean sheets during the loan, including one in his eleven-minute stint on his debut.
In early 2015, Moris was picked up by K.V. Mechelen. He made his league debut for the club on 5 April 2015, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Wouter Biebauw in a 4–1 home victory over Waasland-Beveren. On 25 April 2015, in just his third match for the club, Moris suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee, ending his first season with the club prematurely. In October 2016, in a league match against Anderlecht, Moris tore his meniscus. On 25 March 2017, in a World Cup qualifying match against France, Moris tore his cruciate ligament again, this time in his right knee.
On 18 July 2018, Moris and Mechelen mutually parted ways. The next day, he signed for Belgian First Amateur Division club R.E. Virton on a free transfer. He made his league debut for the club on 1 September 2018, playing all ninety minutes of a 3–0 away victory over Dessel Sport.

International career

Anthony has represented several youth national teams of Belgium.
Shortly before Christmas, Anthony Moris got a Luxembourg passport. Originally Luxembourgish, through his father, the Standard Liège goalkeeper got his naturalization process finalised. With the result that his son, at the time under contract in Standard Liège, became selectable for the Luxembourgish National team shortly before Christmas, Anthony Moris got a Luxembourg passport. Resulting he became selectable for d‘Roud Leiw. After Maxime Chanot, at the time, another player acting in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League could therefore evolve with the Luxembourg selection.
In February 2014, Anthony Moris was called up for the first time into the Luxembourgish national football team that drew with Cape Verde 0–0.
