Former Coleraine player Brad Lyons helped his loan side Morecambe to a famous win in the League Two play-off final at Wembley yesterday (Monday).

The 24-year-old who hails from Ballymoney, was a second half substitute in the Lancashire side's 1-0 win over Newport.

The victory means Morecambe are elevated to the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.

Lyons, who was a key part of the Coleraine Irish Cup-winning side in 2018, was on loan from Blackburn Rovers but has now been released.
