Early career

[edit]

Born in Petra, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Morey joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in June 2015,[3] after representing RCD Mallorca, CE Manacor and hometown side UE Petra.[4] He helped Barça win the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League,[5] 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.[6] After rejecting a contract renewal from the Catalans, he was separated from the squad,[7] and subsequently also suffered another knee injury which kept him out for nearly two months.[6]

Borussia Dortmund

[edit]

On 1 July 2019, free agent Morey agreed to a five-year contract with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.[8] 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.[9]

Morey made his UEFA Champions League debut on 4 November 2020, replacing Thomas Meunier in a 3–0 away success over Club Brugge KV.[10]

On 1 May 2021, Morey suffered a serious injury to his knee after landing awkwardly following a tackle in a DFB Pokal match against Holstein Kiel. He missed the remainder of the 2020–21 season as well as the 2021–22 season.[11]

On 9 February 2024, Morey came on as a substitute in the 88th minute in a 3–0 win over SC Freiburg, marking his first appearance in 1,015 days for the club.[12] Later that year, on 4 May, he made his first Bundesliga start following his long-term injury in a 5–1 victory over FC Augsburg.[13] On 18 May, Borussia Dortmund announced that Morey would leave the club upon the conclusion of the 2023–24 season.[14]

Mallorca

[edit]

On 5 July 2024, Morey signed with Mallorca for one season, with two more optional seasons.[15]

International career

[edit]

Morey represented Spain at under-17 level in the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[16] 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.
