  3. Morgaro Gomis (b. 1985)

As manager Craig Levein’s first signing for United in January 2007, Morgaro quickly became a first team regular and hardly missed a game over the next four years. As the determined defensive midfielder quickly became a fans favourite at Tannadice, a League Cup runners-up medal in 2008 was soon followed by a Scottish Cup winners medal in 2010. His form at United gained him International recognition, with a call up for Senegal earning him two caps. Leaving to join Birmingham City in May 2011, he returned to Tannadice in 2013 and 2019, making him one of only a handful of players to have played for the club in three separate spells.

Biography

Having played as a youth for Montpellier and Chelsea, Morgaro spent two years playing with English lower league sides Windsor & Eton, Dagenham & Redbridge, Barnet and Lewes. The then 20 year-old midfielder signed for Cowdenbeath in July 2006 having impressed in a closed-doors friendly against Dunfermline Athletic, and he soon attracted the attention of Craig Levein, becoming the newly appointed United manager’s first signing in January 2007.

Originally signed as one for the future, he quickly became a first team regular and hardly missed a game over the next four years, forming a sold central midfield partnership with Prince Buaben. In 2008 he collected a runners-up medal in the League Cup final against Rangers after a penalty shoot-out, scoring his first goal for the club in the semi-final victory over Aberdeen at Tynecastle.

Having been born in France of Senegalese parents, Morgaro was added to the list of United internationalists when he made his debut for Senegal in March 2009, his first of two caps.
In 2010 he was a vital part of the United team that reached the Scottish Cup Final, playing in every round on the way to Hampden where the side won the trophy for the second time in the Clubs’ history with victory over Ross County. That year also witnessed United’s return to Europe, with Morgaro playing in both legs against AEK Athens.
When his contract expired in May 2011, he left to join Birmingham City.

In October 2013, Morgaro returned to the club until the end of the season. Understudy to an established United midfield, he found himself mostly coming off the bench, and in May, he collected a runners-up medal in the Scottish Cup Final against St Johnstone as an unused substitute. Upon the expiry of his short-term deal, he left the Club on a free transfer.

Having spent two seasons with Hearts, where he helped them win the Scottish Championship to return to the top flight, and a brief spell on loan to Motherwell, Morgaro moved abroad to play for Malaysian Premier League club Kelantan where he spent two years. He returned for a third spell at Tannadice in January 2019 under new manager Robbie Neilson, having played for the manager during his stint at Hearts. Used only sparingly, Morgaro was released in May 2019.

Two seasons with Falkirk was followed with a short spell at Clyde, and in 2022 he returned to Malaysian side Kelantan. In January 2024 Morgaro returned to Scotland for a fourth time to sign for Lowland League club East Stirlingshire.
