The Shrimps added to their forward options with the loan signing of Wigan Athletic striker Joe Piggott.
The 20-year-old has moved to the Globe Arena on loan until January, following the example of Callum Lang who netted 10 times for the Shrimps last season.
He is available for tomorrow’s match at Bury and gives manager Jim Bentley another attacking alternative alongside the likes of Jason Oswell, A-Jay Leitch-Smith and Vadaine Oliver.
Bentley said: “Joe’s highly regarded at Wigan and has been scoring plenty of goals; he’s a good size, technically good and has got very good potential.
