David T. Morley (born 25 September 1977 in St Helens) is an English football defender who plays for Conference North club Hyde United.

Morley started his career at Manchester City. He made 20 starts for the club's reserve team in 1996–97,[1] and broke into the senior team for the first time the following season. He made a goalscoring debut against Bury on 12 September 1997, but did not make any further starts for the club, two substitute appearances providing his only other first team action.[2]

He subsequently played for Southend, Carlisle, and Doncaster Rovers. He joined Macclesfield Town in January 2005,[3] where he later became captain, leading out the side for their 2007 FA Cup tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.[4] He signed a new contract in June 2007,[5] but left Macclesfield four months later after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent[3]
