Career
[edit]Morales got his career underway with Quilmes.[1][2][3] His first appearance in senior football arrived in the Copa Argentina against Atlanta, as he played the final twenty-three minutes of a win away from home after replacing Sergio Hipperdinger.[1] He featured again in the cup, versus Ferrocarril Midland, before appearing in the Primera División for the first time in May 2013 during a loss to Vélez Sarsfield.[1] In total, Morales played forty-one times in the top-flight; also scoring once in a fixture with Banfield in 2016.[1][4] Morales spent the 2016–17 season in Primera B Nacional with Almagro, prior to playing in Primera C Metropolitana for Berazategui in 2017–18.[1][5]
Atlanta became Morales' fourth senior team on 30 June 2018.[1][6] He made his debut after coming off the bench in a 4–0 victory over Tristán Suárez on 18 August, with his first start arriving in September versus Acassuso.[1] June 2019 saw Morales, off a promotion with Atlanta, move abroad for the first time, signing with Olimpia of Honduras' Liga Nacional.[7][8][9] He appeared in league matches with Platense, Real de Minas and Real Sociedad as they won the Apertura stage, as well as making three appearances in the CONCACAF League, prior to departing at the end of December.[10]
In early December 2020, Morales signed with Excursionistas.[11] In July 2023, Morales switched to the Italian Eccellenza club SSD Nissa FC.[12]
