Career

Morales started his senior career in 2005 with CAI in Primera B Nacional, he remained with them until 2012 and made one hundred and thirty-four appearances whilst scoring three goals in the process.[2] In his penultimate season, 2010–11, CAI were relegated to Torneo Argentino A.[1] He subsequently spent 2011–12 out on loan with Primera B Nacional's Chacarita Juniors, making thirty-four appearances and scoring three times as Chacarita were relegated to Primera B Metropolitana; parent club CAI were also demoted from Torneo Argentino A to Torneo Argentino B.[1] In July 2012, Chacarita signed Morales permanently.[1]

He went on to score eight goals in ninety-two matches for Chacarita in three seasons in Primera B Metropolitana.[1][3] The club were promoted back to Primera B Nacional for 2015, a season Morales spent out on loan with Argentine Primera División side Quilmes.[1] He remained with Quilmes for the 2015 and 2016 campaigns, scoring one goal (versus Rosario Central) in sixteen games.[1] On 30 September 2016, fellow Primera División team Huracán signed Morales.[4] His debut arrived on 3 October during a win away against Atlético Tucumán.[1] He featured once more for Huracán during the 2016–17 Primera División.[1]

Morales left the club in August 2017 to join Los Andes on loan.[5][6] However, he returned months later without featuring.[7] His contract with Huracán initially ended on 30 June 2019, though was extended by a further twelve months due to Morales' health issues.[8]

In June 2020, it was revealed that Morales had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).[8] He initially noticed changes in his body as far back as June 2017, though was only formally diagnosed in March 2018.[8]
