There’s another new signing through the door at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium as winger Rolando Aarons has joined the Shrimps.

A Jamaican International, Aarons brings a wealth of experience to the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, having come through the ranks at Newcastle United, where he made his Premier League debut in 2014.

Aarons went on to represent the Magpies across league and cup competitions before enjoying loan spells and gaining Championship and League One experience at Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town and Wycombe Wanderers, and also in the Scottish Premiership with Motherwell.

He also had a spell on loan at Verona in Italy’s Serie A.

The 29-year-old was most recently at Slovenian top flight side NK Celje, where he featured in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League matches.

Speaking on Rolando's signing, Morecambe manager Ashvir Singh Johal said: "I'm delighted that Rolando has chosen to join us.

‘’He's a winger who we identified early on and we're pleased we managed to get it done as there was a lot of competition for his signature.

"He sees it as an environment that will bring the best out of him, he's very experienced, playing in the Premiership, Championship and Serie A and is someone who will add massive value to this side."

Aarons will be available for selection pending international clearance.
