On leaving school he joined Harrow Chequers and then the Barnes club. He won his solitary England cap playing at outside left in England's first ever international match against Scotland on 30 November 1872. He was also a member of the Wanderers club.[3]

In his professional life he worked at the London Stock Exchange.[3]

With his wife, Rebecca Garnett, he had a daughter, Muriel Rose Morice. Through Muriel, he is the great-grandfather of actor Edward Fox.[4][5]
