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 $3 1/2$-year contract. He tied with Ashley Hay as top scorer for the B team during the 2023-24 season, with 9 goals.

International career
Morgan scored 10 goals in eight appearances for Wales at U17 level, which included two goals in three appearances at the 2023 European U17 Championship.
