Adam Morgan (English footballer)

Adam Joseph Morgan (born 21 April 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Northern Premier League Division One West club Clitheroe where he holds the role of player/assistant manager.

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.

[8] On 23 August 2012, he made his senior debut for the club, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute in a UEFA Europa League qualifying match against Hearts, replacing Fabio Borini in a 1–0 win.

[9] 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 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.

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.

[14] 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.

[15][16] 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.

[18] 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.

His replacement Terry Skiverton allowed Morgan to return to the first-team squad,[21] and on 21 February 2015 he made his first Yeovil appearance for almost a year as a late substitute against Gillingham.

Morgan scored a hat trick in Curzon Ashton's FA Cup second round tie against AFC Wimbledon, however, his team still lost, giving up four goals in the last 10 minutes.
