On 10 January 2018, Morroni joined Barcelona on loan until the end of the season.[5] While she did not feature regularly, Morroni cemented herself permanently as a left-back during her loan spell with the Catalonian club.[1]

On 22 August 2024, National Women's Soccer League club San Diego Wave signed Morroni to a contract through the 2026 season.[8] She made her debut for the club against Portland Thorns FC in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup on 18 September 2024.[9] Three days later, Morroni made her first NWSL league appearance in a 1–0 defeat to the Chicago Red Stars.[10] She would go on to play in 8 games across all competitions for San Diego in her first season with the Wave.[11]

Morroni started the 2025 campaign on a positive note, leading the NWSL in successful one-on-one drives and leading San Diego in both blocks and tackles over the first 8 matches of the season.[12] She registered her first NWSL assist on 19 April 2025, helping the ball to French teammate Delphine Cascarino in a victory over Racing Louisville FC.[13] On 25 May, she scored her first goal for San Diego, opening the Wave's scoring in a 5–2 win over the North Carolina Courage; the victory set a club record for goals scored in a single game and also extended the team's unbeaten streak to six games.[14] Morroni went on to appear in all but one of the Wave's 26 regular season matches, helping the club finish in sixth place and reach the NWSL playoffs.[11] She played all 120 minutes of San Diego's first-round playoff defeat to the Portland Thorns.[15]
