Arrived in Treviso in 2011 from Crociati Rugby as a permit player, Morisi spent 11 seasons at the club, making 91 appearances and scoring 6 points.

"My family and I will always be grateful to Treviso for the way I was welcomed and for giving me unforgettable emotions, true and rare friendships. After seeing so many friends leave, it was my turn. I leave with a serene heart, hoping to leave a good memory in the hearts of the fans and the city. Thank you for everything, Treviso will forever be my home and I will return for sure in the future to grow my family" the statements of the Italian center.

Joining Morisi at the exit door is Andries Coetzee, who arrived last summer in Treviso coming from the Japanese club Kintetsu Liners; in his year with the Lions shirt he made 9 appearances.

Both players were contracted to the green-and-white club until 30 June 2023.
