“I have had two good loan spells at Accrington and I played some of my best football last season so hopefully I can carry this on. I can’t wait for the season to start now.”
Having been brought to the Shrimps by former boss Jim Bentley in 2019, O’Sullivan played 86 times for the club, scoring eight goals.
His final appearance as a Morecambe player came as an extra-time sub in the play-off final win against Newport County AFC at the end of May.
