- Biography:
Morgan Harper will be out recapture his great form of 2021 for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in 2023.
In his first full season at Manly after joining the Club midway through 2020, Harper showed his attacking prowess and formed a lethal combination with electrifying winger Jason Saab.
He has now scored 15 tries in 45 games for Manly heading into next season.
Harper also quickly became a fan favourite with the nick-name 'Lionel' for his uncanny resemblance to singer Lionel Ritchie with his thick, curly hair.
A devoted father and family man, Harper enjoys spending time away from the game with his twin boys and daughter.
