Morecambe have signed goalkeeper Connor Ripley on a one-year deal after his release by Preston North End.
The 29-year-old spent three and a half years at Deepdale but only played 10 games, while he featured nine times on emergency loan at Salford last term.
Ripley, the son of ex-Blackburn and Middlesbrough winger Stuart, lists Oldham Athletic, Motherwell and Boro among his former clubs.
"Morecambe have pushed the boat a bit more for me," Ripley said.
"That was one of the main reasons why I signed, they made it easier for me to sign as they were the ones that made me feel wanted."
Boss Derek Adams added: "Connor comes into to the club following a three-year spell at Preston North End, he will provide stern competition to Adam Smith and Andre da Silva Mendes."
