SHRIMPS have secured the services of two of their Academy graduates with new contracts.

Nik Rogan, the 20-year-old from Kirby Stephen, who scored two goals on his Morecambe debut last season, has signed a one-year extension to his deal.

Rogan, who played at Kendal Town before joining the Shrimps, is now contracted until the end of the season - joining Wayne Curtis & Gary Thompson as a trio of Cumbrians on the Christie Park payroll..

And local lad David Perkins has agreed a deal that will see him at Christie Park until the summer of 2005.

Perkins, who made his debut at Lincoln City in November 2000, became a regular last season and is looking to command a regular berth in the new Nationwide Conference campaign.
