The 21 year old central midfield player is joining Skelmersdale on loan until the end of the season. Locally born Mike has been full-time with both Oldham Athletic and St. Mirren before he was signed up by then Sandgrounders manager Paul Carden in the close season, he has found himself unable to grab a regular first team shirt at Haig Avenue and the move the Stormy Corner represents a good opportunity for him to reignite his career.

His box to box hardworking reputation combined with an eye for a telling pass should fit in well with Skelmersdale’s on the floor football style and he goes straight into the squad for tomorrow night’s trip to Barwell.

Manager Tommy Lawson said; “I am pleased to get him on board, he is very well thought of, will add quality and increase the competition for places in the midfield, all things that can only be good for the club. It is a very positive move as we enter the last quarter of the season”
