Morecambe Football Club has confirmed that the National League has officially lifted the transfer embargo previously placed on the club.

The embargo had been imposed amid financial concerns, restricting the club from signing new players ahead of the new season.

With the restriction now removed, the Shrimps can move freely in the transfer market ahead of the planned season opener against Altrincham this Saturday.

The club expressed their gratitude to supporters for their patience and loyalty.
