When Morgan joined the club there were just 12 players, they were getting changed in tin sheds, paying for match subs and training in car parks.
There was a former goalkeeper who worked nights at a prison and Morgan would drive to pick her up at 4am so she could get home quicker to sleep before matches.
But it is those struggles which Morgan says “keeps me humble” and makes achieving promotion feel “even more special”.
“I will never forget where we started. This is my hometown club and it’s a bit of a family venture,” he told BBC Sport. “It makes me really appreciate everything more.
“To build such a strong squad over the seven years, go up through the different leagues and have the journey we have been on. To finally get to the top of the women’s game is something that’s really special to me and my family.”
Now the women’s team are training in a new state-of-the-art facility at Belvoir Drive. They have three pitches, a gym and are fully professional.
But it hasn’t always been that way.
Leicester forward Hannah Cain, who joined from Everton in the summer, says the team “began the season on a pitch which was so bobbly” and they had team meetings in a “freezing marquee”.
“There were tractors going past and we couldn’t even hear what Jonathan was saying – we just pretended we could,” she joked.
“We get treated now as if we’re the men’s squad. That’s very rare in women’s football. We have our own facilities and even the staff around those facilities treat you as if you’re a professional who has been playing for 25 years.
“It’s helped us to get that promotion because every single day we have been on it. At the start of the season we were playing on a park. Everything has changed.”
