While in college, Morrow also played for the Indiana Invaders, the Cleveland Internationals, and the Chicago Fire Premier in the USL Premier Development League. During the 2009 season he helped the Fire to the 2009 PDL championship game.
Morrow was drafted in the second round, 28th overall, of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by the San Jose Earthquakes.
Morrow made his professional debut and scored his first goal on April 14, 2010 in a U.S. Open Cup game against Real Salt Lake. He made his MLS debut on May 1, 2010 against the Colorado Rapids.
