Young striker becomes latest Morecambe capture

Striker Ronnie Blois has joined Morecambe FC on a two-year contract ahead of the 2026/27 National League North campaign, subject to FA and National League approval.

The 19-year-old arrives at the Halo Aerospace Stadium after an impressive breakthrough season with Leiston, where his goalscoring exploits quickly caught the attention of clubs higher up the football pyramid.

Blois finished last season as the highest scoring 18-year old in steps 1-3, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young attacking prospects in non-league football.

Manager Adam Lakeland said: “I'm delighted to bring Ronnie to Morecambe FC. He's a player who Sam and I became aware of last season and is someone who we believe we can and will continue to nurture into a very good centre forward.

“He is a young lad who is moving away from home and taking a step into professional football for the first time, so it's important we don't put too much pressure and expectation on him too soon. However, that said, Ronnie doesn't play the game like a typical 19-year-old.

“He relishes the physical battle which comes with being a number nine and has a great work ethic which can see him dropping in to link play, contest aerial duals, run the channels or play on the shoulder. He has a real appetite to get into positions where he gets chances and scores goals, and he is capable of scoring all types of goals.

“I'm sure in our team, with the numerous creative players we have, he will score goals and only continue to improve as a player under our guidance. I look forward to working with him and it's yet another talented, hungry young prospect, with a bright future, joining our group."

Speaking after signing for the Shrimps, Ronnie Blois said: “It’s a massive club, I want to play my part of getting them back to where they belong which is the EFL.”

‘’The gaffer came to watch me a few times last year and then when he came here, there was only one option for me. A club like this shouldn’t be where they are.”
