Iwan Thomas Morgan (born 29 January 2006) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Brentford.

Morgan is a product of the Cardiff City and Swansea City academies and began his professional career with Brentford in 2023. He was capped at youth level by Wales.

Club career

Early years

A forward, Morgan began his youth career with a 9-year spell in the Cardiff City Academy.[4] In August 2020, he transferred to the Swansea City Academy.[5] Morgan signed early scholarship forms with the club in 2021 and began his scholarship in earnest in July 2022.[6][7] Following a 2022–23 season in which he scored 28 goals in all competitions for the U18 team, Morgan turned down the offer of a professional contract and departed the club on 1 September 2023.[5] The compensation fee received was Swansea City's club record for a player not signed to a professional contract.[5]

Brentford

On 1 September 2023, Morgan signed a three-year contract with the B team at Premier League club Brentford,[8] for a compensation fee.[5] By early February 2024, Morgan's B and U18 performances were such that he was rewarded with a new 3+1⁄2-year contract.[9] He tied with Ashley Hay as top scorer for the B team during the 2023–24 season, with 9 goals.[10]

Morgan was included in the first team squad for its 2024–25 pre-season training camp in Portugal and he made five friendly appearances during the pre-season period.[11][12][13][14][15][16] He was an unused substitute in six first team matchday squads during the regular season.[17] Following the departure of Ashley Hay and Kyreece Lisbie during the winter transfer window,[18] Morgan moved from the left wing to reassume the role as the B team's centre forward.[19] He scored 25 goals in 42 B team appearances during the 2024–25 season and was a part of the Professional Development League-winning squad.[19][20]

Morgan made one first team friendly appearance during the 2025–26 pre-season and played for the B team during the first half of the regular season.[20][21] On 1 January 2026, Morgan joined League Two club Shrewsbury Town on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season.[20] He was deployed in a variety of attacking roles and made 22 appearances during his spell,[22] scoring three goals.[23]

International career

Morgan was capped by Wales at U17 and U19 level.[17] He scored 10 goals in eight appearances at U17 level,[24] which included two goals in three appearances at the 2023 European U17 Championship.[17]

Style of play

As a forward, Morgan has "a dogged nature out of possession, a willingness to run in behind and clever movement inside the box to fashion an opportunity".[18] Strengths are his "receiving the ball to feet, bringing team-mates into play and a capability to drive with the ball into advanced positions from deep".[18]

Personal life

Morgan attended Ysgol Bro Edern in Cardiff.[25] While a Brentford B player, he lived in digs with teammate Riley Owen in Richmond.[26]
