Morecambe have signed Norwich City goalkeeper Archie Mair on loan for the rest of the season.
The 22-year-old spent the first half of the campaign with National League side Gateshead, making 27 appearances.
Mair was the hero of Notts County's play-off final shootout win over Chesterfield last season.
He is not eligible for Morecambe's FA Cup third-round tie at Swansea on Saturday, having already played in the competition for Gateshead.
The Scotland Under-21 international made a name for himself at Wembley in May when he was sent on as a substitute at the end of extra time and saved two Chesterfield penalties to take Notts back into the Football League.
He has not made a first-team appearance for the Canaries but has also had loan spells at King's Lynn and Dartford.
He told the Morecambe club website: "I had a call saying I was wanted here at Morecambe - ever since then, it's all happened quickly.
"I'm hoping to be quite consistent, I'm quite comfortable with the ball at my feet. Maybe they [the fans] will look at me and think I've a laid-back approach, but that's just how I play."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
