"This is a new chapter for me. I have come in over the last week or so and really enjoyed it. There is a good group in the changing room and a group I think I will enjoy being part of over the course of the season," Davenport told the club website.

"It's been a tough couple of years but hopefully now I can be a bit more settled here and kick on. This is a club that has proven that it can take in younger players like myself and help us to develop which is a big attraction for me."

Manager Derek Adams adeed: "Jacob is a player with quality who needs to find a settled place to play after a couple of years of moving around. He has done well since coming in over the last week and we are pleased to add him to our group for the season ahead."

"It's clear to see Jacob's pedigree from his journey to date. He is still only 24-years-old so has his best years ahead of him and hopefully we can help him achieve his potential."

"I am excited for this challenge. I wanted to come and test myself in a different environment this season and I am looking forward to being part of the Morecambe squad for the League Two campaign," Bloxham said

"The Manager and staff have put together a very good group of players here this summer and it's a group I am really pleased to be joining and I am eager to make sure I can add to the quality already in the building."

Derek Adams added: "Tom is a player we were aware of in League One and somebody we kept an eye on and tracked. When we knew there was a possibility this could happen, we were keen to accelerate that process and bring Tom to Morecambe for the season. I also have to thank Shrewsbury Town for working with us to make this happen."

"He has a terrific number of games behind him for such a young player. He is also a big physical threat for us and gives us a different dimension to what we already have."
