Career

National team

Morton took part in the U-17 Women's World Cup in March 2014 with the U-17 team . The New Zealanders were designated as participants by the Oceanic Association without qualification. In Costa Rica they were able to achieve a 1-1 draw against Paraguay in their first game, but then lost 3-0 to the two later finalists Japan and Spain.

In October 2015, she took part in the 2015 Women's U-20 Oceania Cup in Tonga , where she was used in the four games her team won with a total of 69-0 goals. But she herself couldn't contribute a goal. Then as Oceania champions they traveled in November 2016, following Papua New Guinea for the FIFA U-20 World Cup Women 2016 . There they were able to win their first game against Ghana 1-0, but then lost to France and the USA.

In July 2017 she made a new attempt with the U-20. In their home country they scored only 48 goals in five games this time and even conceded one goal in a 9-1 win against Fiji, but they again qualified for the 2018 U-20 Women's World Cup in France . There they only scored a goal in the 1: 2 against the Netherlands in August. Although they achieved a goalless draw against the hosts, a 0-1 against Ghana made them bottom of the group.

On June 10, 2018, she made her senior national team debut in a 3-1 loss to Asian champions Japan .

In the 2018 Oceania Women's Soccer Championship , she was used in four of the five games and scored her first international goal in the 90th minute in a 6-0 win against the Cook Islands. As tournament winners, the New Zealanders qualified for the 2019 World Cup and the 2020 Olympic Games .

At the end of February / beginning of March she was part of the squad that took part in the Cup of Nations , but was only used there in the 2-0 win against Argentina . On April 29, she was nominated for the World Cup in France . At the World Cup, where the New Zealanders were eliminated after the group stage, it was not used.
