Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy has confirmed that he has missed out on the signature of Yeovil Town striker Andy Kirk.

McIlroy had hoped to tempt the 29-year-old Northern Ireland international to head north, but accepts that Kirk is now settled in the West Country.

He told The Visitor: "He is settled in Yeovil, has just moved house and his children are in school. It was the wrong timing for him and I can understand his decision.

"We have got a budget and we will do our best and the chairman will go as far as he can, but some players are out of our reach.

"Since the season ended I have spoken to ten players. Some haven't happened, but we have had good feedback from others."
