Wedding belle for young Hawthorn star Harry Morrison after heartwarming proposal
The AFL season is reaching the business end, but one Hawthorn star already has plenty to celebrate.
Young Hawks star Harry Morrison has announced on social media that he is getting married to long-term girlfriend Olivia Higgins.
Morrison proposed to his beau on the beach, the couple pictured sharing a touching embrace after she said yes.
'The Next Chapter,' the couple posted to Instagram.
Hawthorn teammates including Jarman Impey, Massimo D'Ambrosio, Conor Nash, Mabior Chol, Jai Newcombe and captain James Sicily were quick to offer their congratulations.
'Epic,' Jack Ginnivan posted with a heart emoji.
'Magical!' added Lloyd Meek.
New recruit Josh Battle also congratulated the pair, commenting: 'So good. Congratulations.'
Morrison, born in Benalla, Victoria in 1998, began his football journey with the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup.
Despite suffering an ACL injury in 2014, he returned strongly the following year and helped the Benalla Saints secure back-to-back premierships.
In 2016, he was a standout in the TAC Cup Grand Final, which led to Hawthorn selecting him with pick 74 in the national draft.
Morrison made his AFL debut in Round 23, 2017, against the Western Bulldogs.
The following season, he became a regular on Hawthorn's half-back flank, played 21 games, and earned a Rising Star nomination in Round 20 before suffering a broken jaw.
Over the next few years, he developed into a reliable wingman, reaching a career-best average of 19.2 disposals per game in 2022 and securing a contract extension through 2024.
In 2024, he maintained his form with strong performances across 12 games, including finals, which led to another two-year deal keeping him at the club until the end of 2026.
By mid-2025, Morrison had reached 117 AFL games and kicked 28 goals and has become a trusted figure in Hawthorn's evolving lineup.
