Player Biography

Callum Morton signed for Rovers on a short-term deal in November 2024.

The striker started his career in the Yeovil Town academy, earning a move to West Bromwich Albion one month after scoring a brace against the Baggies in an FA Youth Cup fixture.

He enjoyed his first taste of senior football in the 2018/19 season on loan at National League team Braintree Town, scoring five goals in 14 appearances, including a hat-trick against Barnet.

His impressive spell earned him a loan move to Northampton Town, where he made an immediate impact.

Morton scored five goals in nine matches to help the Cobblers gain a place in the Play-Offs, netting twice in the second leg of the semi-final against Cheltenham Town as Northampton came back from a 2-0 defeat in the first leg to win 3-2 on aggregate before scoring in a 4-0 victory over Exeter City in the final at Wembley.

The forward then had loan spells at Lincoln City, Fleetwood Town and Peterborough United before making a permanent move to Fleetwood from West Brom on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

Morton scored twice in 20 appearances for the Cod Army in Sky Bet League Two before signing for Salford in January 2023. He played 27 times across three seasons at the club and had loan spells at Forest Green Rovers and Northampton before departing at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

After signing for Rovers, Morton made his debut for the Gas against Notts County and scored his first goal for the Pirates in a 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra.
