Club career

Born in Caracas, Morais moved to Spain in 2016, after representing C.D. Tondela and Monagas SC. Initially agreeing to a contract with Club Lemos,[1] he opted to cancel the agreement and joined CD Lugo's youth setup instead.[2]

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Morais was assigned to the farm team also in the regional leagues, and helped in the club's promotion to Tercera División with seven goals. On 1 December 2019, he scored a hat-trick for the side in a 6–0 home routing of CD As Pontes.[3]

Morais made his first team debut for the Galicians on 18 December 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Chiqui in a 1–1 away draw against Sestao River Club, for the season's Copa del Rey; he also converted his penalty kick in the shoot-out, but his side were knocked out after a 6–5 loss.[4] The following 3 July, he renewed his contract for a further year.[5]

Morais made his professional debut on 12 July 2020, replacing Yanis Rahmani late into a 2–2 home draw against Girona FC for the Segunda División championship.[6]

gollark: Pascal's Mugging: someone comes up to you and says "give me £100 or I will eternally torture you and 10000 copies of you". Now, obviously, this is quite implausible. But it's a finite chance of an infinitely bad outcome, versus losing that finite amount of money, so you should do it, right?
gollark: I'm not a negative utilitarian, so no.
gollark: It's sort of the same thing the other way round.
