Career

[edit]

Born in La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Andalusia, Morente joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup on 18 January 2014, after stints at AD Taraguilla and Atlético Zabal.[2] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 2 April 2015, starting in a 4–1 Tercera División away loss against Internacional de Madrid CF.

Morente scored his first senior goal on 19 April 2015, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home win against rivals Real Madrid C. He was promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2015–16 season, with the side now in the fourth tier.[3]

On 31 August 2016, Morente signed a one-year deal with Segunda División B club CD Atlético Baleares.[4] The following 9 July, he agreed to a four-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in Segunda División.[5]

Morente made his professional debut on 20 August 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Juan Delgado in a 1–0 home loss against UD Almería.[6] He scored his first professional goal the following 4 March, netting the opener in a 2–1 home loss against CD Tenerife.

On 25 January 2019, Morente was loaned to fellow second division side CD Lugo for six months.[7] On 30 June, after avoiding relegation, he was bought by the Galicians due to an obligatory clause on his contract; he signed a permanent deal until 2022.[8]

On 30 January 2020, Morente signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Málaga CF, still in the second division.[9] On 16 September, he agreed to a four-year deal with Elche CF, newly-promoted to La Liga.[10]

Morente made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 26 September 2020, starting in a 3–0 home loss to Real Sociedad. He scored his first goal in the division on 18 October, netting the club's second in a 2–0 away win over Deportivo Alavés.

On 19 June 2024, Morente moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a three-year contract with US Lecce in the Italian Serie A.[11]
