Born in Acarigua, Morr began his career with Portuguesa FC in 1997. He left the club in 2001 for Llaneros, but returned to his former side in 2002.
Morr subsequently resumed his career in the country's Primera División and Segunda División, representing Unión Lara (two stints), Estudiantes de Mérida, Guaros (two stints), Minervén, Policía de Lara [es], Llaneros,[1] Deportivo Lara and Portuguesa. He retired with the latter in 2010, aged just 29.
Shortly after retiring Morr took up coaching, being in charge of Deportivo Lara's youth sides. In August 2015, he was appointed Rafael Dudamel's assistant in the Venezuela under-20 team.[2]
