""It's never the plan as a footballer to have played for as many clubs as I have." Esther Morgan cannot quite hide the smile on her face as she considers her recent transfer history. The Wales full-back joined Bristol City this summer, her seventh club since 2021 and she is still aged only 23. As a Tottenham Hotspur player she had loan spells at Leicester City, Coventry United and Sunderland before a move to Scottish side Hearts in 2023."
""What has been important in my career so far is that I've had a lot of game time and a lot of opportunities at different clubs," she said. "[But] it's quite nice knowing I'm not going to move around for the next couple of years and I can cement my place. "Coming off a busy summer with the Euros I needed some time to reset."
""I had a couple of conversations with different clubs [but] had a talk with Charlotte [Healy, Bristol City head coach] and when I saw the facilities here, it felt like home. "It's really close to my family across the bridge in Wales and it felt like the right place at the right time. I'm just delighted." After a busy summer in which she started all three of Wales' games at Euro 2025, it is little wonder Morgan felt at home at Bristol."
Esther Morgan is a 23-year-old Wales full-back who joined Bristol City this summer as her seventh club since 2021. She had several loan spells while at Tottenham Hotspur, including Leicester City, Coventry United and Sunderland, before moving to Hearts in 2023 where injuries limited her time. A subsequent loan at Sheffield United completed her contract and prompted a search for a settled club. Morgan started all three of Wales' Euro 2025 matches and values proximity to family and teammates. She seeks consistent game time and aims to cement her place at Bristol City while resetting after a busy summer.
