Morecambe have signed Northwich Victoria midfielder Michael Carr on a two-year contract.
The 24-year-old has been tracked by Shrimps boss Sammy McIlroy for several months, as Morecambe bid to build on an impressive first season in the Football League.
Carr told The Citizen: "There were a few clubs that showed an interest in me, but the fact that Sammy McIlroy is here really sold the club to me.
"I am hoping to make an impact at the club and show I can play at this level.
"I like to think of myself as a box-to-box player who can chip in with goals as well.
"I only scored two last year, but in the two years before that scored 29 goals, so I am hoping to recapture that type of form."
