Career
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 team mate 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 City 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 City stated that Morton's injury had not improved as much as hoped, and that surgery might be required.[16]
