Derek Adams has returned to Morecambe for a third spell as manager less than eight months since his most recent departure, the League Two club have announced.

Adams, who resigned from his post as Ross County boss after just 12 games in February, has been handed responsibility for all first-team matters with immediate effect.

He told the club's official website: "Morecambe FC is a club I know well from my previous two spells at the football club, and I am looking forward to getting started.

"There is a lot of work to be done over the transfer window to get ready for the start of the new season, and I know the board of directors were looking for a manager who knows the football club and how it works.

"I'm delighted to come back and try and help the football club move forward again."

Scot Adams returns to a club which has been dealing with ownership and financial difficulties, but one which he led memorably to promotion via the League Two play-off final in 2021 during his first spell in charge.
