Career
He is currently the first team coach at Chesterfield, and was previously a coach and caretaker manager at Sheffield United. Barnsley
He started his football career in 1996 with hometown club Barnsley, going on to make 212 appearances for the Tykes in six seasons, including their only ever season in the top flight in 1997-1998. Sheffield United
Morgan signed for Sheffield United on a free transfer in July 2003.
He made his debut in the opening game of the 2003-2004 season, a 0–0 draw against Gillingham at Bramall Lane.
Later that season, after Rob Page was transferred to Cardiff City, Morgan was an obvious replacement as club captain. Morgan was made captain at the start of the 2004-2005 season and in the 2005-2006 season he captained the Blades to promotion to the Premier League, with the club returning the top flight after a 12-year absence.
The Blades" stay in the top flight lasted just one season as they were relegated back to the Championship in controversial circumstances. This gave Morgan the distinction of becoming the club"s all-time most sent off player.
In November 2008, during a match between Sheffield United and former club Barnsley, the Tykes" striker Iain Hume suffered a fractured skull when Morgan elbowed him as he was waiting for an aerial ball.
Hume underwent emergency surgery and spent 48 hours in the high-dependency unit of a Manchester hospital with life-threatening injuries. In May 2009, it was reported that Barnsley and Hume were considering legal action against Morgan, who described the period since the incident as "a test of character", but this never materialised. Morgan became Sheffield United"s Reserve Team coach shortly after sustaining a serious knee injury in October 2010.
During the 2011-2012 season, while still a registered player but unable to play due to injury, he led United"s Reserves to the Central League title.
In April 2013, after the departure of manager Danny Wilson, Morgan was appointed as caretaker manager for the remainder of the 2012-2013 season. Despite United winning Morgan"s first game in charge, results did not significantly improve and they failed to clinch promotion, losing to Yeovil Town in the semi-final of the League One play-offs.
Despite publicly expressing his desire to take on the role on a permanent basis, Morgan was overlooked for the post of full-time manager in favour of former Scotland defender David Weir. On 30 December 2015, Sheffield United announced that they had "reluctantly" released Morgan, and that he would be joining Chesterfield as first team coach.
