Full back Morgan is from Bedfordshire and was captain of the First Year scholars in the 2009/2010 season, having joined the Centre of Excellence as an Under 12. He is also able to play centre back or in midfield and is a hardworking, adaptable player who led by example both on and off the pitch.

His efforts during the 2009/2010 season saw him rewarded with the Young Player of the Season award. During his second year, he went on work experience at St Ives Town during the Autumn. He was given a First Team Squad number (31) in January 2011 to allow him to take a place on the bench in the FA Trophy game at Eastwood. He then went on to make his professional debut at a substitute in the Hillier Cup game against Brackley Town on 12 January 2011. In February 2011 he went on a further work experience at Barton Rovers as well as helping the Diamonds Youth Team lift the Midland Youth Cup. During his spell at Barton Rovers he was awarded “Player of the Match” for his performance in their 1-0 victory at Bedworth United. He returned to Nene Park to take a place on the bench for the first team for their game against Wrexham on 9 April 2011, but did not make another first team appearance. After his release from Diamonds, Morgan joined UCL side St.Ives Town on a permanent basis in July 2011. No record of his involvement with the game has been found between 2012 to 2018.
