Dean Lance Morgan (born 3 October 1983) is a professional footballer who plays for Margate. He has also played international football for Montserrat.
Morgan started his career with Colchester United, but left in September 2003, having his contract cancelled by mutual consent. He joined Reading in November 2003, before being released at the end of the 2004–05 season. He joined Luton Town in the summer of 2005. Morgan started well, scoring a late winner against Madrid on his first home appearance for the Hatters. This goal earned Morgan the club's Goal of the Season award. Despite this, Morgan proved an unpopular face at Kenilworth Road following rumors of an altercation with club captain Kevin Nicholls and displays of petulance on pitch leading some fans to feel his had a poor attitude.
Despite interest from other teams, Morgan signed a new deal at Luton on 16 February 2007, keeping him at Luton until the summer of 2009.
On 16 November 2007, Morgan signed on loan for Southend United until January 2008. He scored three goals for Southend, all of which came in the FA Cup in games against Oxford United (scoring once) and Dagenham & Redbridge (scoring twice). On 3 January 2008, Leeds United manager Dennis Wise confirmed that Morgan was one of his transfer targets in the transfer window, but Morgan remained at Luton as Leeds would not meet his wage demands, despite Luton being willing to release him on a free transfer. This was not the first time Wise had attempted to bring Morgan to Leeds, having also tried to sign him during the 2006–07 season. On 7 March 2008 Morgan signed for Crewe Alexandra on loan for the rest of the season, where he scored once against Gillingham.
Morgan was contracted to Luton until the end of the 2008–09 season, but never made another first-team appearance for the Hatters. On 29 August 2008, Morgan joined Leyton Orient on loan until January 2009, later extended to the end of the season. He played 34 games for the O's from left midfield, scoring five goals.
