Hearts

Morton progressed through the youth ranks at Clyde,[2] before signing for Hearts in 2009 at under 17 level.[3][4] In July 2011 Morton joined Cowdenbeath to gain first team experience.[5] On his return he made his debut on 7 January 2012 as a half time substitute in the Scottish Cup.[6] On 21 May 2012, after just one appearance for the club, he was released.[7]

Cowdenbeath (loan)

On 15 July 2011, Morton joined Cowdenbeath on a six-month loan deal after impressing as a trialist[8][9] during pre season, scoring in a friendly against parent club Hearts.[10] He made his debut on 23 July 2011, against Raith Rovers in the Challenge Cup,[11] with his Scottish Second Division debut coming on 6 August 2011 against Forfar Athletic at Station Park.[12] His first league goal came in the following game in their 3–1 over Brechin City scoring the winner in the 80th minute.[13] In all he made 19 appearances scoring six times with his last game coming on 2 January 2012 against East Fife scoring a goal from 30 yards out.[14] Cowdenbeath requested his loan be extended until the end of the season, however this was rejected by Hearts.[15]

Livingston

On 1 June 2012, Morton signed a one-year contract with Scottish First Division side Livingston.[16] He made his debut on 28 July against Annan in the Challenge Cup,[17] going on to score his first goals for the club on 4 July, in a League Cup match against Stranraer scoring a brace in an 8–0 win.[18] Morton made his league debut on 11 August against Greenock Morton.[19] Morton left Livingston in May 2013 after the end of his contract.[20]

After being released by Livingston, Morton re-signed for Cowdenbeath permanently in May 2013 on a one-year contract.[21] In July 2014, Morton signed for Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[22] After less than a year in Bulgaria, Morton returned to Scotland, signing for Airdrieonians in February 2015,[23] and in January 2016, Morton moved on loan to Scottish League Two side Annan Athletic until the end of the season.[24] He was released by Airdrie in May 2016.
