“There are a couple of moves we are hoping to do shortly”: Shrimps look to add fresh blood
Morecambe manager Ashvir Singh Johal is hoping for new faces to bolster his squad for this weekend’s FA Trophy clash with Kidderminster Harriers.
The Shrimps’ boss saw last Saturday’s National League clash with Altrincham controversially abandoned minutes before kick off and, with the club entering 2026 still in the relegation zone, Johal is keen to bolster his squad for the final 21 league games of the season.
Their next league match is against Scunthorpe United at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium on January 17, with new faces possibly in the door by then.
Johal said: “There is a lot of work going on but there are a couple of moves we are hoping to do shortly but it all depends on their current clubs.
“We have identified clear targets in positions across the team where they can have the biggest impact, scoring goals and stopping goals, because I think we are OK in the middle.
“A lot has been agreed in principle but a lot depends on the situations of the clubs we are dealing with and how quickly they can make things happen in terms of the players they want to bring in.
“There is a chain effect and if they bring in the players they want, it opens up the doors for targets to come to us.
“As well as the sort of player we want for the squad, we need to make sure anyone who comes in has a good character too.
“Everyone in the group here is a good person who is hungry to improve and that type of individual is the person we are looking for.”
