Club Career
editMorales debuted with Real Madrid in 1995.[1] He played with UD Salamanca in the Second Division of the Spanish League during the 1999-2000 season.[1]
After a week-long trial, Morales signed for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer on July 10, 2000, filling the club's fourth and final "foreign spot."[1] He made his Revolution debut 9 days later in a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Wizards, and his home debut on August 2 in a 2-1 loss to the Dallas Burn.[2] Morales' first (and only) Revolution goal came on August 30, 2000, the Revolution's only goal in a 1-0 home victory over D.C. United.[2] The goal helped the Revolution qualify for the playoffs for only the second time in club history.[3] In the 2000 MLS Cup Playoffs, Morales provided an assist on Mauricio Wright's game-winning goal against Chicago Fire FC in the second match of the series.[2] The goal provided the Revolution with their first-ever playoff victory.[4] On November 1 the Revolution elected not to exercise the option on Morales' contract.[5]
