FC Halifax Town are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Amari Morgan-Smith, following his departure from fellow National League side Kidderminster Harriers.
Coming through the academy at Crewe Alexandra, the forward spent time on loan at Alsager Town, before making the permanent switch to Stockport County. The forward’s next move was to Ilkeston Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, helping the club to promotion with 18 goals in 39 appearances. The move earned Morgan-Smith the move to Luton Town, then in the Conference Premier. The striker scored 18 in 48 across two seasons before joining Macclesfield Town.
Whilst with Macclesfield, Morgan-Smith joined Kidderminster for the first time, on a one-month loan. The forward spent the remainder of the season back at Macclesfield before being released and signing permanently with the Harriers. After one full season where he netted 11 in 44 appearances, the forward joined Oldham Athletic, then in League One, in the summer of 2014. Again, just a one season stay before Morgan-Smith returned to non-league to sign for Cheltenham Town, for their National League title winning season.
Upon their return to the Football League, Morgan-Smith was loaned to York City in the National League. At the end of the 2016-17 campaign, the forward would join York permanently for their first season in the National League North. In February 2018, the forward made the switch to National League North rivals AFC Telford United. The following summer, the striker joined Alfreton Town where he’d score 15 in 40 appearances.
In June 2020, Morgan-Smith made his return to Kidderminster again. The forward made over 200 appearances, and scored over 50 goals for the club in this most recent spell. He was part of two promotion campaigns, with Kidderminster winning the playoffs in 2023 and last season.
