Mateu Jaume Morey Bauzà (born 2 March 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for German club Borussia Dortmund.

Club career

Early career

Born in Petra, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Morey joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in June 2015,[2] after representing RCD Mallorca, CE Manacor and hometown side UE Petra.[3] He helped Barça win the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League,[4] featuring in five matches during the competition.

Morey was promoted to the B-team for the 2018–19 campaign, but suffered a serious knee injury in August 2018 which kept him sidelined until the following March.[5] After rejecting a contract renewal from the Catalans, he was separated from the squad,[6] and subsequently also suffered another knee injury which kept him out for nearly two months.[5]

Borussia Dortmund

On 1 July 2019, free agent Morey agreed to a five-year contract with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.[7] After initially playing for the reserves in the Regionalliga West, he made his professional debut on 31 May 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Achraf Hakimi in a 6–1 away routing of SC Paderborn 07.[8]

Morey made his UEFA Champions League debut on 4 November 2020, replacing Thomas Meunier in a 3–0 away success over Club Brugge KV.[9]

International career

Morey represented Spain at under-17 level in the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[10] being a regular starter in both tournaments as his side won the former and finished second in the latter. He also played for the nation's under-16 and under-18 sides in 2016 and 2018, respectively.
