Morecambe have signed striker Vadaine Oliver on a free transfer.
The 25-year-old, who came through the youth ranks at Sheffield Wednesday, will officially become a Shrimps player when his contract with York expires on July 1.
Oliver scored in York's FA Trophy final win at Wembley last season and is a player who has caught the eye of Morecambe manager Jim Bentley many times during a career that has seen him also play for Lincoln, Crewe, Mansfield and Notts County.
"I've always been impressed with him in the past and I tried to sign him on loan during January," Bentley told the club's official website.
"He's a good lad who is determined to work hard and do well. He's mobile, athletic, good technically, strong in the air and I feel he can do well for us, lead the line and score goals.
"He's had a bit of an up and down couple of seasons for one reason or another but now I'm looking forward to working with him and hopefully he kicks on because he certainly has the potential to do that as he's a very modern style centre forward with plenty of strengths that I'm looking forward to seeing while in a Morecambe shirt."
