Morecambe have signed young goalkeeper Tony Thompson for the forthcoming season to provide back-up to Barry Roche.

First-choice stopper Roche is available again following his recovery from a long-term hip problem and the Shrimps have been seeking cover for the Irishman since releasing Andreas Arestidou.

Thompson, 20, was available on a free following his release from Rotherham and has penned a five-month contract.

"Tony is a young goalkeeper who has been the training with us all summer," manager Jim Bentley told his club's official website.
