Morecambe have confirmed the departure of striker Charlie Brown from the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.

The 25-year-old links up with former boss Ged Brannan and a number of ex-Shrimps after joining Accrington Stanley for an undisclosed fee, having agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Having scored eight goals in 36 matches for Morecambe, Brown became the second player to leave the club this week following Kayden Harrack’s exit.

A Morecambe statement said: “We’d like to place on record our thanks to Charlie for his efforts and wish him well going forward.”

Morecambe boss backed to get the most from his budget

Brown joined the Shrimps in June 2023, having agreed a one-year deal after leaving Cheltenham Town.

He only featured four times during Derek Adams’ second spell in charge, scoring once, before Brannan took over in late 2023.

The change of manager brought a change in fortunes for Brown, who began to play regularly and scored six goals in a further 25 matches.

He signed a new contract during that time, penning an initial deal until the summer of 2025, before Brannan departed at the end of last season.

However, first-team football has been elusive under Adams this time around with seven games and one goal against Nottingham Forest’s U21s in the Vertu Trophy.
