Morelli never managed to break into Middlesbrough's first team but spent the first half of the season on loan from the Championship club at Estonian top division side Levadia, scoring 19 goals in just 26 games.

Now the 21-year-old has signed an 18-month permanent deal at Town and will initially join up with Paul Murray's development squad.
