Morgan Alfie Roberts (born 7 November 2000) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for National League club Brackley Town.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Roberts joined Northampton Town's youth academy in 2009, after beginning at Northampton Soccer Stars, prior to being promoted into the first-team squad nine years later.[2][5] Roberts was an unused substitute for an EFL League One match with Blackpool in April 2018, which preceded his professional debut on 5 May during a 2–2 draw at Sixfields Stadium with Oldham Athletic; the club's 2017–18 finale as they suffered relegation.[3][6] He signed a new contract with Northampton on 17 May.[7]

On 11 October 2019, Roberts headed off on loan to AFC Rushden & Diamonds of the Southern League.[8] He won man of the match in two of his first three appearances for them.[9] He scored his first senior goal on 22 October, netting against Banbury United; a team he would later join.[10] Roberts made a second one-month loan move of the season to a Southern League Premier Central team, this time in the shape of Banbury United on 12 November 2019; joining up with brother Connor.[11] On 12 December 2020, Roberts joined National League North team Brackley Town on loan for a month.[12]

On 7 July 2021, Roberts rejoined former club Banbury United on a permanent deal.[13] The 2021–22 season saw success for Banbury as they were promoted to the sixth tier of English football for the first time in their history.[14]

On 1 September 2022, Roberts returned to the Football League when he joined EFL League Two club Swindon Town.[15] The move came after an impressive opening month of the season that saw Roberts saw four goals, ultimately being awarded the National League North Player of the Month award for August 2022.[16]

In February 2023, Roberts signed for National League club Aldershot Town on loan until the end of the season but returned to Swindon Town the following month due to lack of game time.[17][18]

Roberts was released by Swindon Town upon the conclusion of the 2022/23 season and subsequently re-joined Brackley Town on a permanent basis in June 2023.[19] Despite a successful individual season that saw him named in the National League North Team of the Season,[20] it ultimately ended in disappointment as Brackley were defeated by Boston United in the play-off final.[21] He signed a new contract to remain at the club for the following season.[22]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Roberts was called up to a training camp with the Wales U21s in March 2019.[23]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

He attended Kingsthorpe Grove and Northampton School for Boys as a pupil.[5] His father, Gareth, is a former semi-professional footballer, while brother Connor is a current footballer.[5]
