The
22-year-old joins Warrington on a more permanent basis, having been on dual
registration with the Yellows since March 2022.
He
had joined Skem in the summer of 2021 from NPL Division One West outfit Marine
AFC, having signed for them in June 2020 on a permanent basis, having been on
loan with the Mariners towards the end of the 2019/20 season and scored 33
goals.
Originally
with Preston North End, he joined Morecambe in May 2019 and in February 2020
was loaned to Marine.
It
wasn`t his first taste of non-League football, however, as he had been out on
loan with Hednesford Town and Stalybridge Celtic whilst on Preston`s books and
also spent time with Irish side Cork City in 2018.
Skelmersdale
manager Paul McNally told his club’s website: Paul McNally said “Before the
season started, I had one player on our radar that I desperately wanted to sign
and that was Mikey, I was more than delighted when we finally got him, I said
at the beginning of the season I don’t know how long we will have him but I had
confidence that he would come up with the goods.
"To
give credit to him there have been a number of teams wanting to prise him away,
but he has stuck with us, mainly due to his enjoyment at the club and the fact
he was scoring goals.
“A
lot of young lads who are released from League club’s academies fall by the
wayside, it takes a strong character to go down the leagues and work their way
back up, Michael is one of those characters. He is joining Warrington Town, two
divisions above and I’m sure he will impress and go further up the leagues with
the right guidance, Mikey leaves with our blessings and our best wishes going
forward in his career”. |
