Mateu Jaume Morey Bauzà (Balearic Catalan: [məˈtew moˈɾəj]; born 2 March 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Segunda División club Girona.

Club career

Early career

Born in Petra, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Morey joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in June 2015, after representing RCD Mallorca, CE Manacor and hometown side UE Petra. He helped Barça win the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League, featuring in five matches during the competition.

Morey was promoted to the B-team for the 2018–19 campaign, but suffered a serious knee injury in August 2018 which kept him sidelined until the following March. After rejecting a contract renewal from the Catalans, he was separated from the squad, and subsequently also suffered another knee injury which kept him out for nearly two months.

Borussia Dortmund

On 1 July 2019, free agent Morey agreed to a five-year contract with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. After initially playing for the reserves in the Regionalliga West, he made his professional debut on 31 May 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Achraf Hakimi in a 6–1 away routing of SC Paderborn 07.

Morey made his UEFA Champions League debut on 4 November 2020, replacing Thomas Meunier in a 3–0 away success over Club Brugge KV.

On 1 May 2021, Morey suffered a serious injury to his knee after landing awkwardly following a tackle in a DFB Pokal match against Holstein Kiel. He missed the remainder of the 2020–21 season as well as the 2021–22 season.

On 9 February 2024, Morey came on as a substitute in the 88th minute in a 3–0 win over SC Freiburg, marking his first appearance in 1,015 days for the club. Later that year, on 4 May, he made his first Bundesliga start following his long-term injury in a 5–1 victory over FC Augsburg. On 18 May, Borussia Dortmund announced that Morey would leave the club upon the conclusion of the 2023–24 season.

Mallorca

On 5 July 2024, Morey signed with Mallorca for one season, with two more optional seasons. He scored his first professional goal on 23 August 2025, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Celta Vigo, but was mainly a backup to Pablo Maffeo as the club suffered relegation in 2026.

Girona

On 31 August 2026, Morey signed a two-year deal with Girona, also relegated to Segunda División.

International career

Morey represented Spain at under-17 level in the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, being a regular starter in both tournaments as his side won the former and finished second in the latter. He also played for the nation's under-16 and under-18 sides in 2016 and 2018, respectively.
