Club career

Strapp joined the Greenock Morton youth academy on its inception in 2012, before signing professional forms shortly after his 16th birthday. [1]

Strapp made his debut for Morton in a Scottish League Cup tie against Albion Rovers in July 2016. [2] He joined Elgin City on loan in August 2017 until January 2018. [3]

In June 2018, Strapp signed with Morton for another season. [4]

In late September 2018, Strapp and team-mate Ruaridh Langan joined Annan Athletic on a short-term development loan. [5]

Strapp scored his first league goal for Morton with the late winner against Ayr United on Halloween 2020; [6] he also opened the scoring with an own goal in the 32nd minute.

Strapp would go on to regularly feature for Morton, making his 100th appearance for the club in a 5-0 home win against Dunfermline Athletic. Strapp also scored his second career goal in a 0-1 away win against Inverness a few weeks later. [7] Following much speculation about a potential move away from Morton, Strapp signed a one-year contract extension, expiring in summer 2023. [8] In April 2023, it was revealed that Strapp would be leaving the club at the end of the season, [9] and due to injury, Strapp's last appearance for Morton would be in a 5-0 away defeat to Celtic in the Scottish Cup in January 2023. [10]

However, after months without a club, and having a trial at Kilmarnock, [11] Strapp returned to Greenock Morton on 8 December 2023, signing a short term deal until the end of January. [12] On 19 January 2024, Strapp signed a contract extension with the Ton until the end of the season. [13]
