On 9 February 2024, Morey came on as a substitute in the 88th minute in a 3–0 win over SC Freiburg, marking his first appearance in 1,015 days for the club. Later that year, on 4 May, he made his first Bundesliga start following his long-term injury in a 5–1 victory over FC Augsburg. On 18 May, Borussia Dortmund announced that Morey would leave the club upon the conclusion of the 2023–24 season.
