While studying for his degree at Durham University, Morgan made his first-class debut for Durham UCCE against Lancashire in 2008. He appeared in two further first-class matches for the university in 2009, against Lancashire and Durham. Two more first-class appearances came in 2010 for the university, by now playing as Durham MCCU following a change of name, against Nottinghamshire and Durham.[1] In his five first-class matches, he scored 61 runs at an average of 10.16, with a high score of 38. Behind the stumps, he took 5 catches and made a single stumping.[2]

In a Daily Telegraph article on South Africa's pace bowling, published on 16 August 2022, Morgan commented that the Wikipedia page dedicated to his brief first-class cricket career contained "a vast overestimation of my height".[3]
