Morecambe boss Derek Adams added: “Jake is a highly rated young goalkeeper who will challenge for the number one jersey. We look forward to working with him.”

Turner’s signing continues a busy week which has seen the signings of Stephen Hendrie, Harry Davis, Nathaniel Knight-Percival and Liam McAlinden.
