Hide AdMorris spent time on loan with Burton during boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's first spell in charge in 2014.
He said playing for Hasselbaink was again was a big lure.
‘It's good to be back. I was only here for a month, but I really enjoyed it,’ Morris said.
‘The manager got in touch and that was a big point for me - it showed he was keen to get me.’
Morris joins Jack Whatmough (Wigan), Ben Close (Doncaster Rovers), Ryan Williams (Oxford) and Tom Naylor (Wigan) in finding new clubs following their Fratton Park release.
All five are due to face the Blues next season in League One.
