Ryan Cooney: Morecambe sign Burnley defender on two-year deal

Ryan Cooney made 46 appearances in all competitions as Morecambe won promotion to League One last season

Morecambe have signed Burnley defender Ryan Cooney on a two-year deal.

The 21-year-old has spent the past 18 months on loan with the Shrimps and will join as a free agent after turning down a new contract at Turf Moor.

"I think there's a lot more to come from him, he's a young boy still learning and I think in certain games he's been excellent," boss Stephen Robinson told the club website.

"Ryan has a big future ahead of him if he continues to do the right things."
