Club career
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Morales spent his entire senior career in his region of birth. His professional input consisted of 101 Segunda División matches for Terrassa FC over three seasons,[1] his debut in the competition taking place on 31 August 2002 when he replaced field player Juan Carlos early into a 1–1 home draw against Albacete Balompié after Fernando Maestro was sent off.[2]
In the Segunda División B, other than Terrassa, Morales also represented UE Sant Andreu[3] and CF Badalona, retiring well past his 40s.[4][5] On 29 May 2020, when he only needed one more game to become the most veteran player to appear in that league, it was announced that he would be released by the latter club the following month.[6]
