The 22-year-old was born in Bristol but would have qualified for Wales later this month on the three-year residency rule.
After weighing up his options, Morgan has opted to make himself available for England and he will immediately come into consideration for Six Nations selection.
Morgan said: "I feel privileged and honoured that both Wales and England have been following me.
"It has taken me a while to think over and discuss with my family before I came to the decision of where I'd like to focus my ambitions for the future.
"But I'm English, I grew up supporting England and as a youngster I always dreamt of playing for England one day.
"Ultimately, if given the opportunity at international level, I want to try and take things forward with my home country."
