Player's bio:

Ryan Alexander Morgan is born in 2nd July 1998 at Milan, Italy. His father is Michael Morgan and his mother is Julia Morgan; an Italian-born American-Brazilian woman. At the age of 12, his parents got divorced due to his mother's alcoholic and drugs addicted. Believed that Ryan might ended up like his mother, Michael left his son on his ex-wife care and remarried his first wife; Pamela which he had 3 daughters with before; Jeni, Jeri and Alex. He then moved with his mother to Stratford, Connecticut. He was abused by his mother everyday. Due to this, he turned into a bully in school. The only good things he good at is soccer. He played as a striker for Stratford High School as a striker since he's a freshman. At the age of 15, his mother died due to drugs overdose. Since Ryan's father refused to take him in and he never communicated with his sisters, he was sent to the fosters care and lived with other orphans.

He was selected to play with USA U17 squad when he was 17 years old where he helped the team to ended CONCACAF U17 Championship at the 3rd place to send USA to the U17 World Cup while he himself managed to be the top scorer of the tournament. But, unfortunately for him as USA failed to make it through to round of 16 after finished at the bottom of Group A despite Ryan managed to score 4 goals in the group stage. But later, he was called up to the USA U23 squad in 2015 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Championship and despite just being on the bench throughout the tournament, he managed to score 3 goals in the tournament. That is good enough as the talent scout from a Brazilian Serie B club; Oeste FC had been put him under the radar. After graduated from high school, he was offered to be in a tryout for the club at Sao Paolo where he managed to be selected to the team. Since then, his life change 360° as he's now a professional player.

With Oeste FC, he scored 20 out of 32 goals for the team despite Oeste ended up at 16th place on the league table. This caught attention from Neil Warnock, the manager for an EFL Championship's club, Cardiff City. He then offered Ryan to play with the club which he accepted. On the January transfer windows, Ryan was bought to Cardiff City with £120,000 transfer fee where he later managed to score 10 goals in the league. During 2017-2018 season, he scored 15 league goals to help Cardiff City to end the league campaign at the 2nd place; therefore automatically being promoted to Premier League. Despite all of this achievement, he was never being called up for any senior national team due to he never choose a nation that he wants to represent.
