Shayden Morris, an English forward born on 30 March 2002, has certainly carved a small niche for himself in the world of football. Primarily seen dominating the right wing for Aberdeen, his physicality complements his playing style, standing 6ft tall (1.83m) and weighing 10st 9lb (68kg). The number 20 jersey has been his choice of armour.
According to Transfermarkt, Morris's current market value hovers around £500k, a number which, given his potential, could see a rise in the near future. Currently under contract with Aberdeen, his time at the club is set to conclude on 31 May 2026.
His career began in earnest back in July 2018, when the then young trainee, Morris, found himself joining Fleetwood Town in England's League Two. His tenure, however minimal on the field, offered him the first taste of professional football, managing one league match appearance during the 2022-2023 season.
Morris's career took a decisive turn northwards when he transferred from Fleetwood Town to Aberdeen in Scotland in August 2022. His debut season of 2022-2023 with Aberdeen witnessed him stepping on to the pitch in 13 league matches, a figure that mildly dipped to 12 in the subsequent 2023-2024 season. However, he's been a much more familiar name in the current 2024-2025 season with 32 first team appearances and three goals to his name.
Aberdeen has made use of his talents not just in league matches, but also in the League Cup 2024-2025, where he started five times and made a substitute appearance, netting one goal. Similar performances were seen in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 and Conference League 2023-2024. All in all, Shayden Morris is a name that football enthusiasts might want to keep an eye on.
