Club career[edit]
Early years[edit]
A forward, Morgan began his youth career with a 9-year spell in the Cardiff City Academy.[2] In August 2020, he transferred to the Swansea City Academy.[3] Morgan signed early scholarship forms with the club in 2021 and began his scholarship in earnest in July 2022.[4][5] Following a 2022–23 season in which he scored 28 goals in all competitions for the U18 team, Morgan turned down the offer of a professional contract and departed the club on 1 September 2023.[6] The compensation fee received was Swansea City's club record for a player not signed to a professional contract.[6]
Brentford[edit]
On 1 September 2023, Morgan signed a three-year contract with the B team at Premier League club Brentford,[7] for a compensation fee.[6] By early February 2024, Morgan's B and U18 performances were such that he was rewarded with a new 3+1⁄2-year contract.[8]
International career[edit]
Morgan scored 10 goals in eight appearances for Wales at U17 level,[9] which included two goals in three appearances at the 2023 European U17 Championship.[10]
