Playing career
Morrow played four full seasons of junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Portland Winterhawks. After the 2011–12 season, Morrow was named to the WHL's First All-Star Team, and had finished second in league scoring among all defencemen. He was drafted in the first round, 23rd overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He was then subsequently signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Penguins on August 3, 2011.
In his first professional season in 2012–13, Morrow was assigned directly to the Penguins American Hockey League affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, due to the ongoing NHL lock-out. After commencement to the shortened NHL season, Morrow received his first NHL recall to Pittsburgh but did not debut, as a precautionary injury replacement for Kris Letang, on February 10, 2013.
On March 24, 2013, Morrow was traded from the Penguins along with a fifth round draft pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Brenden Morrow (no relation) and a third round draft pick in the same draft. On July 4, 2013, Morrow's tenure with Dallas was cut short as he was again involved in a trade between the Stars and the Boston Bruins. Boston traded Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, and Ryan Button; in exchange, they acquired Morrow, Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, and Matt Fraser.
He played 33 games during the 2015–16 NHL season and then re-signed with the Bruins to a one-year, one-way deal for $800,000.
On July 1, 2017, Morrow signed as a free agent to a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens
