Ipswich captain Sam Morsy opens up on personal desire to pioneer EFL refugee project

Ipswich captain Sam Morsy is a tough competitor on the pitch - but a very different person away from it.

Morsy, 31, supports Ipswich’s refugee project, sponsors a family’s season ticket and has proudly taken part in the EFL’s annual Week of Action by taking part in a coaching session for members at the club.

The Wolverhampton-born midfielder has a special interest in trying to help as his dad, Mekawy, came to England as a refugee when he was just 21. That has made Morsy even more determined to play his part and he says having to overcome barriers in his own life has made him the person and player that he is today.
