Morrow has played for Crusaders as a midfielder since making his debut in 2003, and was voted Ulster Young Footballer of the Year in 2003–04. He was a fan favourite for Crusaders for several years, and was instrumental in their promotion back to the Irish Premier Division, and was part of both the Irish Cup and County Antrim Shield winning sides. He was also named in the Irish League Select XI in 2008.
On 30 October 2010 in a league victory against Coleraine, he pulled on the goalkeeping jersey for the final 10 minutes, after Niall Murphy had been sent off. He kept a clean sheet for the remainder of the match despite intense pressure., and repeated the feat later that season against Newry City, this time playing as goalkeeper for a full hour after goalkeeper Chris Keenan was stretchered off. That season he also scored the winning goal against Linfield at Seaview, the first time the Crues had beaten the Blues since 1999.
On 28 January 2012, Morrow scored the only goal of the Irish League Cup final victory over Coleraine.
He was named Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association Player of the Year for 2011–12.
In October 2014, he suffered a broken ankle against Linfield. It was another in a succession of injuries, having broken his leg several years previously. In January 2016, having not appeared for the Crusaders first team since then and to aid his recovery, he joined Glentoran on loan.
Following his release from Crusaders, Morrow signed for NIFL Premiership side Carrick Rangers.
