In 2005 Adrian Morley became the first Englishmen to complete the 'Rugby league trifecta', winning Premierships in both the National Rugby League, Super League and also winning the Challenge Cup.
Morley won the Challenge Cup with Leeds Rhinos in 1999 defeating the London Broncos 52 - 16 at Wembley Stadium.
Moving to the NRL in 2001, Morley was part of the premiership winning Sydney Roosters team of 2002. The Sydney Roosters defeated the New Zealand Warriors 30 - 8 at Telstra Stadium.
In the 2003 Ashes series against Australia, Morley was sent off after just 12 seconds of the opening match for a high tackle on Robbie Kearns. This is the fastest dismissal in the history of test Rugby League.
In late 2005, although still contracted to the Roosters; Morley joined the Bradford Bulls at the backend of the season and helped them to claim the Super League championship against his old team the Leeds Rhinos.
Morley returned to the engage Super League after signing a 4 year deal with the Warrington Wolves.

He made his Warrington Wolves Debut Vs Wigan Warriors on February 9, 2007 but lasted only 37 Minutes after an accidental clash of heads with Wigan Warriors' Eamon O'Carroll which resulted in Morley having surgery on a fractured eye socket.
5 rounds later Morley made his Home Debut and Comeback Vs Hull Kingston Rovers. But another freak clash of heads resulted in Morley leaving the field after only 16 Minutes with a displaced fracture of the left Cheekbone. Morley has had Surgery to fix the problem and is expected to return for the Millenium magic weekend in Cardiff on Sunday May 6, 2007
