Davies will be a success - Lillis

Mark Lillis

Morecambe assistant manager Mark Lillis believes the Shrimps' young goalkeeper Scott Davies has the potential to go all the way in the game.

"Scott is a brave keeper," Lillis told BBC Radio Lancashire. "Even if he comes for a cross and misses it at least you knowing he's still coming for it.

"He's a good prospect for Morecambe Football Club."

The 21-year-old Blackpool-born keeper, who joined as a trainee in July 2005, has been a regular for the last month.

He has played in the last seven games for Morecambe, including a match-saving performance last week in the 1-1 home draw with Chesterfield. And Lillis feels he has the right pedigree to be a success.

"We've got 14 contracts up and we've got to decide who's going to get one and who will be released"

"Scott was magnificent against Chesterfield," said Lillis. "It's good that he's got Football League games under his belt."

Davies, who had an unsuccessful trial at Crewe two summers ago and again at Gillingham last summer, is due to be out of contract in June.

And Lillis revealed that discussions are underway to decide if any players whose contracts are up in the summer will be offered new deals at Christie Park.

"We've got 14 contracts up and we've got to decide who's going to get one and who will be released," he said. "That's the other side of football where you have to get someone in and tell them they're going to be released.

"But that has to be done if we're going to progress as a club."
