Callum Morton

Callum Damian Peter Morton (born 19 January 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League South club Torquay United.

Morton began his career at his hometown club Torquay United until the closure of the youth team in 2015, at which point he went to play in the Yeovil Town youth set up, before signing for West Bromwich Albion. During his four years with Albion, he had spells on loan at Braintree Town, Northampton Town, Lincoln City, Fleetwood Town, and Peterborough United. He returned to Fleetwood on a permanent contract in 2022, but left after six months to sign for Salford.

Career West Bromwich Albion Born in Torquay, England, Morton was part of the Torquay United youth team until its closure in 2015, at which point he joined the youth academy of Yeovil Town, later signing a two-year scholarship in February 2016. In January 2017, after scoring against them the previous month in Yeovil's 3–2 FA Youth Cup victory, Morton signed for West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.

In January 2020, Morton joined Northampton Town on loan. In June 2020 he won the EFL League Two Play-offs with Northampton; he scored twice in the semi-final second leg against Cheltenham Town to help them overturn a 2–0 first leg deficit, and then scored once in the final as they defeated Exeter City 4–0.

On 4 September 2020, it was announced that Morton, alongside West Brom teammate Alex Palmer, had joined Lincoln City on loan for the season. He made his debut for Lincoln the next day, coming off the bench in the first round of the EFL Cup. In the following round he would score his first goal for Lincoln in a 5–0 win over Bradford City. On 25 September, it was announced that Morton had suffered a shoulder injury and would miss a number of games. On 3 November 2020, Lincoln stated that Morton's injury had not improved as much as hoped, and that surgery might be required. In January 2021 it was announced that his recovery was nearing its end and that it was hoped he would be available to play in February. He would return to action on 2 March 2021, coming off the bench against Fleetwood Town and scoring a goal.

He moved on loan to Fleetwood in July 2021. After scoring seven goals in twenty-two appearances in all competitions, Morton was recalled by West Brom on 8 January 2022. On 13 January, Morton joined Championship side Peterborough United on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.

Fleetwood Town In June 2022 it was announced that he would return to Fleetwood on a permanent contract on 1 July, signing a three-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee.

Salford City On 13 January 2023, Morton signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with League Two side Salford City. He moved on loan to Forest Green Rovers in September 2023. The loan ended in January 2024.

On 4 July 2024, Morton returned to Northampton Town on a season-long loan deal. He suffered a serious knee injury against Wrexham in October 2024, which ruled him out for the rest of the 2024–25 season.

Bristol Rovers On 28 November 2025, Morton joined League Two club Bristol Rovers on a short-term deal. On 19 December, he scored his first goal for the club on his first start, equalising in a 1–1 draw with Crewe Alexandra that ended Rovers' ten-match losing streak in the league, although he was later forced off with a hamstring strain.

In February 2026, new Rovers manager Steve Evans said that it was "unlikely" that Morton would stay at the club, and he was released later that month.

Worthing Morton joined Worthing in March 2026, on a contract lasting until the end of the season.

Torquay United Morton re-joined Torquay United on 18 May 2026.
