Archie Mair arrives!
The goalie, who was on loan at Gateshead for the first part of the season, comes from Norwich City.
Between 2010 and 2019, Mair progressed through the ranks at Aberdeen before making the arduous trek south to Carrow Road.
Before moving to Notts County, he had spells at King’s Lynn and Lincoln City. It was there that he became a hero, save two spot kicks in the National League play-off final penalty shootout as the Magpies defeated Chesterfield to secure a position in Sky Bet League Two.
Speaking after arriving at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, the 22-year-old said: “It feels really good [to be here], it all came about quite quickly to be honest.
“I was at Gateshead and, just before the game on the first, I had a call saying I was wanted here at Morecambe – ever since then, it’s all happened quickly.
“I’m hoping to be quite consistent, I’m quite comfortable with the ball at my feet. Maybe they [the fans] will look at me and think I’ve a laid-back approach, but that’s just how I play.
“Hopefully I can pull off a few saves as well!”
Having already featured in this season’s FA Cup competition for Gateshead, Mair will not be eligible for Saturday’s trip to Swansea City.
