Morecambe manager Sammy McIlroy has completed the signing of Blackpool midfielder Jamie Burns on a short term loan deal.

The Blackpool-born player has come through the youth ranks at the League One side and has gone on to make over 50 appearances for the Tangerines.

However, the left-sided player has not figured in manager Simon Grayson's first team plans this season and has been allowed to join Morecambe on a loan deal running until 1 January.

Grayson has included a a 24-hour recall clause in the deal which means that Burns could be recalled after his first 28 days at Christie Park.
