A 20-year-old tycoon who is in the process of taking over Morecambe FC has invested further into the club.

Jason Whittingham and Colin Goldring have owned The Shrimps since May 2018.
In November heavyweight champion Tyson Fury revealed he was considering a takeover while Morecambe said in January that "an issue" remained between the owners of Morecambe Football Club and a prospective buyer that was holding up a potential sale.
Now Sarbjot Johal's Sarb Capital Limited has made a "further significant contribution" which the club said enables "the team to focus on the key games ahead" of them.
A Morecambe statement said: "The club’s survival in League One is of paramount importance and this gesture of good will from Sarb Capital allows focus to remain on that goal.
"The board, and owner Bond Group, are extremely pleased to acknowledge Sarbjot’s contribution and he has our gratitude, not least because he has made this commitment to the club whilst the takeover process remains ongoing.
"This demonstrates the connection that Mr. Johal already has and feels towards the club and its supporters.
"Many of you will have seen him at fixtures up and down the country attending matches to appreciate what this club means to the fans."
Morecambe also quoted Mr Johal as confirming "his commitment and continued support for the club whatever the outcome this season".
