Morais began his career at Chelsea, progressing through the youth system before signing a professional deal in 2005. Having made no first-team appearances for Chelsea, Morais was loaned out to Milton Keynes Dons in January 2006, spending the remainder of the 2005–06 campaign with the League One side. Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Morais joined Millwall on a free transfer. He spent half a season playing for Millwall, before joining St Johnstone on loan until the end of the season. Morais was released by Millwall on returning to the club, and subsequently signed for SPL club Hibernian on a free transfer in July 2007. He spent one-and-a-half years at the club, before signing for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January 2009.
He rejoined St Johnstone in the summer of 2009, and spent the 2009–10 campaign playing regularly for the club. Morais returned to England for the 2010–11 season, signing for Oldham Athletic in October 2010. In July 2012, he left Oldham and signed for Stevenage on a free transfer and has since turned out for Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers. Morais joined Crawley Town in July 2018. In September 2019, Morais rejoined former club Oldham Athletic on a season-long loan deal. In December 2020 he joined Grimsby Town but was omitted from the squad after an altercation with teammate Stefan Payne during a game against one of Morais' former sides, Bradford. Morais was released and eventually announced his retirement in December 2021.
