Morecambe new boy is excited by the challenge ahead
Morecambe make full-back their third signing of the close season
Morecambe have announced the signing of defender Cameron Coxe after he agreed a two-year deal at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
The 27-year-old full-back has joined the Shrimps after three-and-a-half years with Boreham Wood, for whom he featured in this season’s National League play-off final against Rochdale at Wembley.
A product of Cardiff City’s youth set-up, Coxe made four appearances for them in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup before joining Solihull Moors in 2020.
A loan move to Colchester United followed a year later, eventually becoming permanent in January 2022.
Another loan deal followed that November, when he joined Boreham Wood who then made the signing permanent at the end of December 2022.
He played more than 100 league matches for Boreham Wood, either side of a three-month loan at National League side Salisbury in the 2024/25 campaign.
On joining the Shrimps, Coxe said: “To join a club that has those ambitions, that wants to do well, that wants to get promoted - that’s the main aim for everyone involved - it’s something that really excites me and I can’t wait to get going. We all want to give something back this season.”
A former Welsh international up to Under-21 level, Coxe became the third new face announced by Morecambe this week after the deals for Will Smith and Teddy Collis.
Morecambe boss Adam Lakeland added: “I’m delighted to bring Cameron to Morecambe FC.
“He is a player with tremendous experience, most of which has been in the National League and EFL, which shows we are bringing yet another quality player into the football club.
“Cameron achieved promotion from the National League South with his last club only two seasons ago, so he understands what is required week in, week out, and you can’t have enough players who understand just what is required to be successful in your dressing room.”
“In addition to all that experience, Cameron is only 27 years old, so he can still have his best years ahead of him and hopefully that will be here at Morecambe.
“I like how positive he is from full-back or wing-back, he relishes opportunities to get forward, to be aggressive and when in advanced areas, has quality to create chances and chip in with the odd goal.
“He has the athleticism which I like in players and I’m sure he will be a great addition to the group. I look forward to working with him.”
