Former Manchester United and West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has signed for Mexico side Atlas from Lazio on a one-year loan deal.

The 24-year-old who was once tipped for a stellar career under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, has been unable to reproduce the form he is capable of at a succession of clubs since leaving Manchester in 2012. 

The former England U-21 player had loan spells at Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City while at West Ham who he joined after The Red Devils.

Ravel Morrison has left Serie A's Lazio to join Mexican side Atlas in a bid to resurrect his career

However, he failed to make an impact, joining Lazio in 2015. However, he has only made four league appearances for the Serie A giants in two years, and was loaned back to QPR earlier this year. 


His latest move in a bid to resurrect his career sees him depart the Italian side to play in Liga MX for the Guadalajara-based side. 

Morrison was linked with a loan move back to Birmingham City earlier in the transfer window, but a deal couldn't be worked out with Harry Redknapp's team.
