Club career

Early years

A forward, Morgan began his youth career with a 9-year spell in the Cardiff City Academy. In August 2020, he transferred to the Swansea City Academy. Morgan signed early scholarship forms with the club in 2021 and began his scholarship in earnest in July 2022. 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. The compensation fee received was Swansea City's club record for a player not signed to a professional contract.

Brentford

On 1 September 2023, Morgan signed a three-year contract with the B team at Premier League club Brentford, for a compensation fee. By early February 2024, Morgan's B and U18 performances were such that he was rewarded with a new -year contract. He tied with Ashley Hay as top scorer for the B team during the 2023–24 season, with 9 goals.
Morgan was included in the first team squad for its 2024–25 pre-season training camp in Portugal and he made five friendly appearances during the pre-season period. He was an unused substitute in six first team matchday squads during the regular season. Following the departure of Ashley Hay and Kyreece Lisbie during the winter transfer window, Morgan moved from the left wing to reassume the role as the B team's centre forward. He scored 25 goals in 42 B team appearances during the 2024–25 season and was a part of the Professional Development League-winning squad.
Morgan made one first team friendly appearance during the 2025–26 pre-season and played for the B team during the first half of the regular season. On 1 January 2026, Morgan joined League Two club Shrewsbury Town on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season.

International career

Morgan was capped by Wales at U17 and U19 level. He scored 10 goals in eight appearances at U17 level, which included two goals in three appearances at the 2023 European U17 Championship.

Style of play

As a forward, Morgan has "a dogged nature out of possession, a willingness to run in behind and clever movement inside the box to fashion an opportunity". Strengths are his "receiving the ball to feet, bringing team-mates into play and a capability to drive with the ball into advanced positions from deep".

Personal life

Morgan attended Ysgol Bro Edern in Cardiff. While a Brentford B player, he lived in digs with teammate Riley Owen in Richmond.
