Morecambe have signed midfielder Eli King on a season-long loan from Championship side Cardiff City.

"Hopefully I can continue my development at the same time as helping the team to progress," he said.

Speaking to Morecambe's website, he continued: "I am joining a club with real competition for places and where the demands on each player are really high.

"That was a big part of the appeal for me in coming to Morecambe."
