Derek Adams is hoping to tie down star striker Cole Stockton down to an extended contract at Morecambe and make him the club's top earner to help ward off any potential transfer interest this summer.
Bolton Wanderers were linked with a move for the Shrimps hotshot prior to the January transfer window. Ian Evatt spoke warmly of the striker prior the January but confirmed it was not a deal they were seeking to do at that time, and Wanderers signed Dion Charles from Accrington Stanley as well as Jon Dadi Bodvarsson from Millwall.
The 28-year-old has scored 58 goals for the Mazuma Stadium club since joining from Tranmere Rovers in the summer of 2019. Stockton scored 26 times in all competitions in the 2021/22 campaign, including 23 in League One, making him one of the top scorers in the division.
