Starting in the Midget class, Morcom then progressed into the Rookie class of Go Karting, but it was in the Junior class, which he joined in 2005, was where he started to turn heads out on the track.

Competing in a variety of Junior classes since then, that include Junior National Light and Heavy, Junior Rotax, and Junior Clubman, and Morcom has achieved a lot of success in this time.
