Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy insists he is happy to remain with the club after Shrewsbury Town made an approach for the Shrimps manager.

The former Macclesfield Town and Northern Ireland chief had a meeting with chairman Peter McGuigan to discuss his future after the Shrews' approach became common knowledge.

McIlroy told the club's official website: "We set up a meeting to discuss a few things and it was really positive.

"We put in a blueprint for the future and we're now all looking forward to moving on together and enjoying more success at Christie Park.

"This has been something of a distraction for us at a time when we're having a bit of a blip but hopefully we can now all look forward.

"We have 11 games to go and 33 points to play for and I want us to end the year on a high and kick on again, starting with Wednesday's game at Accrington.''
