Future Global Sports is delighted to confirm that client Ronnie Blois has completed a move to Morecambe Football Club from Leiston FC.
Blois joins the Enterprise National League North outfit on an initial two-year deal, moving from step 3 Southern Premier League central side Leiston. The deal is Ronnie’s first professional contract after a debut season at Leiston in which the promising striker scored 13 goals.
A powerful and hard-working target man centre-forward, Blois, 19, enjoyed an excellent campaign in front of goal as the highest scoring 18-year old in steps 1-3, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young attacking prospects in non-league football.
His performances also earned interest from several EFL clubs, including trials at Championship club Blackburn Rovers in May, before Morecambe won the race for the forward’s signature.
Morecambe manager Adam Lakeland said:
“I'm delighted to bring Ronnie to Morecambe FC. He's a player who Sam and I became aware of last season and is someone who we believe we can and will continue to nurture into a very good centre forward.”
“He is a young lad who is moving away from home and taking a step into professional football for the first time, so it's important we don't put too much pressure and expectation on him too soon. However, that said, Ronnie doesn't play the game like a typical 19-year-old.
“He relishes the physical battle which comes with being a number nine and has a great work ethic which can see him dropping in to link play, contest aerial duals, run the channels or play on the shoulder. He has a real appetite to get into positions where he gets chances and scores goals, and he is capable of scoring all types of goals.”
“I'm sure in our team, with the numerous creative players we have, he will score goals and only continue to improve as a player under our guidance. I look forward to working with him and it's yet another talented, hungry young prospect, with a bright future, joining our group."
Speaking after signing for the Shrimps, Ronnie Blois said: “It’s a massive club, I want to play my part of getting them back to where they belong which is the EFL.”
“The Gaffer came to watch me a few times last year and then when he came here, there was only one option for me. A club like this shouldn’t be where they are.”
At Future Global Sports we continue to grow our reputation for finding and working with the top young talents in non-league football and helping them find opportunities and transition into professional football.
This deal represents a strong move for Ronnie into full-time football after signing with Future Global Sports, and we are excited to see him take his first steps in the pro game and continue to develop his talents at a well-established, well-supported football club such as Morecambe.

Congratulations Ronnie and we wish you every success at your new club. Future is Blois!
