Aaron Paul Morley (born 27 February 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One side Rochdale.

Playing career

Morley progressed through the ranks of the Rochdale Academy, and first featured for the senior team during the 2016-17 pre-season campaign.[2] After being named as an unused substitute regularly in League One, Morley made his competitive debut in a 2–1 EFL Trophy victory over Notts County on 4 October 2016.[3]

He made his league defeat four days later in a 3–0 win over Southend United.[4] Morley also had a five-minute cameo in Rochdale's 2-0 FA Cup victory over Maidstone United, playing as a left-winger rather than his preferred central role.[5]

Morley made a further three appearances for the club during the season – in two EFL Trophy matches and one league fixture.[6]

On 1 March 2017, he signed his first professional contract with the club following his 17th birthday.[7]
