Morley began his professional acting career in 2005 making his debut in the low budget horror film Dead Harvest. Fortunately, Morley was quick to gain recognition. His performance in Angels with Dirty Faces in 2005 caught the eye of Home and Away casting directors who cast him as the lead role of Drew Curtis.

Morley didn’t miss the chance… In 2007, the role earned him the first award nomination of his career – a Logie Award nomination for Most Popular New Male Talent. Morley appeared on Home & Away for 148 episodes broadcast in 2008. While on the show, Morley took part in the 2007 Australian celebrity singing competition series, It Takes Two. He was eliminated after 6 weeks of the show.

After leaving Home & Away, Morley starred in the 2008 Nine Network series The Strip where he played the lead role of Tony Moretti.

While on the Strip, Morley revealed what he hated about Home & Away:

“It’s nice to be on a show (The Strip) where it’s not about taking your shirt off,” he said. “It was one thing that brought me down (at home and elsewhere). If that’s all I am, a meat puppet, then I don’t know if I want to keep doing it.

However, the series (The Strip) was short-lived to be canceled after the first season due to poor ratings. Also in 2008, Morley appeared in the Nine Network television movie Scorched. In 2010, he appeared in the feature film Road Train and in Season 4, Episode 5 of Sea Patrol.
