Morgan Boyes made his professional debut for Liverpool on 17 December 2019, starting in the away match against Aston Villa in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, which finished as a 5–0 loss. He scored an own goal in the match, after blocking a ball from Ahmed Elmohamady, to find it looped over the goalkeeper's head into the corner of the net.
Boyes made another appearance for Liverpool in the 2019–20 season, as he appeared in stoppage time against Shrewsbury Town in the fourth round replay of the FA Cup.
On 12 August 2020, Boyes joined League One side Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan.
On 23 September, he made his debut for the Cod Army. Starting at left centre-back in a EFL Cup Third round tie against Everton. He played the full match in a 2–5 defeat. He kept his place in the squad for the next game, a 0–1 defeat against AFC Wimbledon in the League One. Recalled by Liverpool on 2 January 2021.
International career
Boyes has Wales caps at both under-19 and under-21 levels. In March 2021, he was called up to the Wales national under-21 football team, playing all 90 minutes in Wales's 2–1 defeat by Ireland at Colliers Park, Wrexham on 26 March 2021.
Manager Paul Bodin then selected a largely unchanged squad, including Boyes, for the side's Euro 2023 qualifying game against Moldova on 4 June 2021.
Style of play
Boyes is a Centre back but has also been deployed as a left back so far during his career.
He has described himself as a " calm defender who likes to play and build up from the back.".
Joey Barton, who managed Boyes during his loan spell at Fleetwood, described him as
"a young player with plenty of potential".
