Career
West Bromwich Albion
Born in Torquay, England,[4] Morton joined the youth academy of Yeovil Town in 2015 signing a two-year scholarship in February 2016.[5] In January 2017, after scoring against them the previous month in Yeovil's 3–2 FA Youth Cup victory,[6] Morton signed for West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.[7]
In January 2020, Morton joined Northampton Town on loan.[8] In June 2020 he won the EFL League Two Play-offs with Northampton; he scored twice in the semi-final second leg against Cheltenham Town to help them overturn a 2–0 first leg deficit, and then scored once in the final as they defeated Exeter City 4–0.[9][10]
On 4 September 2020, it was announced that Morton, alongside West Brom teammate Alex Palmer, had joined Lincoln City on loan for the season.[11][12] He made his debut for Lincoln the next day, coming off the bench in the first round of the EFL Cup.[13] In the following round he would score his first goal for Lincoln in a 5–0 win over Bradford City.[14] On 25 September, it was announced that Morton had suffered a shoulder injury and would miss a number of games.[15] On 3 November 2020, Lincoln stated that Morton's injury had not improved as much as hoped, and that surgery might be required.[16] In January 2021 it was announced that his recovery was nearing its end and that it was hoped he would be available to play in February.[17] He would return to action on 2 March 2021, coming off the bench against Fleetwood Town and scoring a goal.[18]
He moved on loan to Fleetwood in July 2021.[19] After scoring seven goals in twenty-two appearances in all competitions, Morton was recalled by West Brom on 8 January 2022.[20] On 13 January, Morton joined Championship side Peterborough United on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[21][22]
Fleetwood Town
In June 2022 it was announced that he would return to Fleetwood on a permanent contract on 1 July, signing a three-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee.[23]
Salford City
On 13 January 2023, Morton signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with League Two side Salford City.[24][25] He moved on loan to Forest Green Rovers in September 2023.[26] The loan ended in January 2024.[27]
On 4 July 2024, Morton returned to Northampton Town on a season-long loan deal.[28][29] He suffered a serious knee injury against Wrexham in October 2024, which ruled him out for the rest of the 2024–25 season.[30][31]
Bristol Rovers
On 28 November 2025, Morton joined League Two club Bristol Rovers on a short-term deal.[32][33] On 19 December, he scored his first goal for the club on his first start, equalising in a 1–1 draw with Crewe Alexandra that ended Rovers' ten-match losing streak in the league,[34] although he was later forced off with a hamstring strain.[35]
In February 2026, new Rovers manager Steve Evans said that it was "unlikely" that Morton would stay at the club,[36] and he was released later that month.[37]
Worthing
Morton joined Worthing in March 2026, on a contract lasting until the end of the season.[38]
