Scott Morgan (born 22 March 1975) is an English retired football defender. He made one appearance in the Football League for Brentford and subsequently embarked on a long career in semi-professional football in England, Ireland and Wales.
After beginning his career in the Youth systems at West Ham United and Bournemouth, Morgan joined Division Two side Brentford in 1993. He made his professional debut in a 1–0 victory over Hartlepool United on 9 October 1993. Having made just three appearances, Morgan was released at the end of the 1993–94 season, his progress ruined by a serious knee injury.
After his release from Brentford, Morgan signed for Southern League Premier Division side Dorchester Town, who were managed by his father Stuart. He remained with the club until 1997 and disillusioned, quit football. Looking back in 2005, Morgan stated that he "hated" his time with the club and found it difficult being the manager's son.
Morgan returned to football after receiving a phone call in 1999 from former Dorchester Town teammate and Galway United manager Don O'Riordan. Morgan subsequently signed for the League of Ireland Premier Division strugglers and helped the club to stave off relegation during the 1999–00 season. He was also named captain. Morgan made 25 appearances and scored one goal during the 2000–01 season, but could not help the Tribesmen narrowly avoiding relegation for the second season in succession. He departed the club after the campaign, having made 49 appearances and scored one goal.
