“But I would not be anywhere near where I am today without my parents. Their commitment from when I was four years old, taking me to football every week. And because we lived in Wales, we had to travel a lot as well. My Mum stopped working because of football and travelling a lot. I owe everything to them.”
Former Cardiff City and Crystal Palace forward Morgan lived her dream in the summer, representing Wales at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. While that was her first appearance at a major tournament, it was also her country’s. In December 2024, Morgan helped them qualify for the Euros in a play-off success over the Republic of Ireland.
Subsequently, Morgan featured in all three of Wales’ Group D fixtures, starting twice, as they faced the Netherlands, France and England in Switzerland.
“It was unreal, it was like a dream,” she said. “Being there with the fans was so overwhelming, and the support from family, friends and Welsh speakers, Welsh people who love Wales as much as we do, was surreal.
“We got a lot of family time when we were away, they got to come into the team base and have a look around, so I felt like I was experiencing it with them. My parents stayed up the whole time, which was really nice. Walking out onto the pitch and hearing those Welsh fans in the first game against the Netherlands, I won’t forget that. It was amazing.”
