Morecambe showcased a rare midfield scoring threat last season as Miguel Azeez struck six times, turning the Shrimps into a more dangerous side in the National League.

How did Azeez find the net?

Azeez’s first strike came on 12 Oct 2025, a thunderous drive from outside the box that curled into the top‑right corner of Solihull Moors’ net in a 4‑4 draw. Only his fourth appearance for the club, the goal announced his arrival with authority. He followed that with a clever run and a low‑driven finish from a cross‑field move against Sutton United on 26 Oct 2025, earning a 2‑2 draw.

What other goals did he score?

Azeez proved reliable from the spot, converting a calm penalty in a 4‑2 loss at York City on 9 Nov 2025. In the FA Trophy, he turned a corner into a direct strike for a 3‑0 win over Gateshead on 3 Dec 2025. Even in a 6‑2 defeat at Kidderminster Harriers on 17 Dec 2025, he salvaged a left‑footed dipper that hinted at his quality.

Why does this matter for Morecambe?

Six goals from a holding midfielder is unusual in the National League, and Azeez’s contributions helped Morecambe stay competitive despite a tough campaign. His ability to score from distance, penalties, and set‑pieces gave manager Derek Adams tactical flexibility, allowing the Shrimps to press higher without sacrificing defensive cover.

What could be next for Azeez and the Shrimps?

With Carlisle United eyeing his services, Morecambe must decide whether to keep the 22‑year‑old or cash in. If he stays, his six‑goal haul suggests he could become a regular spot‑kick taker at Brunton Park. The club’s fans will be hoping his knack for late‑run finishes and dead‑ball precision continues into the 2026/27 season.
