Adam Joseph Morgan (born 21 April 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker. He is a free agent having last played for Northern Premier League Premier Division side Colwyn Bay
Club career
Liverpool
A product of the Liverpool Youth Academy, Morgan garnered attention for his goalscoring exploits during the 2010–11 FA Premier Academy League Group C season. Morgan scored 18 goals in 16 games, making him Liverpool's leading goalscorer, including a run of scoring in each of 12 consecutive games towards the end of the season. Robbie Fowler commented that "as a finisher he is probably one of the best I've seen for a long, long time."[2] Morgan's efficiency in front of goal brought him a debut for the Liverpool Reserves on 12 April 2011 against Bolton Wanderers, in which Morgan netted the only goal of the game.
On 1 July 2011, it was announced that Morgan had signed a contract extension at Anfield to keep him at the club until June 2014.[3] In the 2011–12 season, Morgan split his time between the under 18s and the Reserves. The bulk of his appearances came for the under-18s where he again top-scored with 13 goals in 21 games. He appeared 17 times for the Reserves, netting five times- three of which came in nine NextGen Series games.[citation needed]
Morgan was taken on Liverpool's pre-season tour of the USA by new manager Brendan Rodgers in July 2012. On 21 July, Morgan scored his first senior goal for Liverpool in the friendly against Toronto FC, slotting in a goal-bound shot from Raheem Sterling.[4] Morgan appeared in the second game of the tour against Roma,[5] before being handed his first senior start against Tottenham Hotspur on 28 July 2012.[6] On 23 August 2012, he made his senior debut for the club, coming on as an 90th-minute substitute in a UEFA Europa League qualifying match against Hearts, replacing Fabio Borini in a 1–0 win.[7] The following week, he started his first competitive match in the return fixture in which he had seemed to have scored his first official goal for Liverpool but it was ruled out as the ball had already gone out of play. On 19 September, Morgan was one of the clutch of teenagers to travel to Switzerland to play Young Boys in a Europa League group game, but didn't make the 18-man squad. On 8 November, Morgan started the group game loss against Anzhi Makhachkala, playing 61 minutes before being replaced by Daniel Pacheco. On 19 August, Morgan scored once in a 4–2 win against rivals Manchester United at the Salford City Stadium in an under 21's league game.
Loan to Rotherham United
On 3 January 2013, Morgan joined League Two side Rotherham United on loan to gain first team experience at the New York Stadium, being handed the number 11 shirt. It was confirmed that he would join on a youth loan until 9 February.[8] He made his debut on 5 January 2013 against Aldershot in the FA Cup.[9] His second and last Rotherham appearance came a week later, playing 56 minutes of the 2–0 league defeat to Barnet. He was replaced by Daniel Nardiello.
Yeovil Town
On 28 November 2013, Morgan signed for Football League Championship side Yeovil Town on loan until January with a view to a permanent deal in the new year.[10][11] Morgan made his debut, on 30 November 2013, in Yeovil's 3–0 victory at Watford.[12] With the opening of the 2014 January transfer window Morgan's loan deal expired and he signed a two and a half-year permanent contract with Yeovil Town.[13][14]
Loan to St. Johnstone
After falling out of favour with Yeovil manager Gary Johnson, on 8 August 2014, Morgan signed for Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone on loan until January 2015.[15] On 13 August 2014, Morgan made his St. Johnstone debut as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 league defeat to Celtic.[16] Morgan made only five appearances for St. Johnstone and following a sending off in a development game against Heart of Midlothian in October 2014 he did not play again for the Perth side.[17] His loan spell was cut short by St. Johnstone in December 2014.[18]
Return to Yeovil
Following his return to Yeovil, Morgan continued to be frozen out from the first-team squad by Gary Johnson until his departure on 4 February 2015. His replacement Terry Skiverton allowed Morgan to return to the first-team squad,[19] and on 21 February 2015 he made his first Yeovil appearance for almost a year as a late substitute against Gillingham. Morgan scored a last minute penalty for his first professional goal to earn Yeovil a 2–2 draw.[20]
