Charlie Brown: Morecambe striker extends contract with League Two club until summer 2025

Charlie Brown has scored four times for Morecambe this season

Charlie Brown has signed an extension to his Morecambe contract until the summer of 2025.

The 24-year-old forward moved to the Mazuma Mobile Stadium after being released by Cheltenham last summer.

Chelsea youth product Brown has scored four goals in 17 games for the Shrimps and his new deal has an option for a further year.

"He's taken his chance with both hands and has been brilliant," Morecambe boss Ged Brannan told the club website.

"He's a great lad, great around the changing room and great around the other players. He knows the way we want to play, he's a bright player, clever, loads of movement off the ball which is the way we want our forwards to play."

Brown, who also had a spell with MK Dons before joining Morecambe from the Robins ahead of this season, said Brannan had "shown a lot of faith and trust" in him and was "glad my hard work and performances on the pitch have earned me a new deal".

"I can go out and play with freedom and just enjoy it now.

"I'm loving my football at the minute and I'm excited about the end of this season and next."
