Morecambe want Wigan Athletic loanee from last season Scott Wootton after Plymouth Argyle exit

Morecambe are in for defender Scott Wootton after his departure from Plymouth Argyle, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter (see tweet below). 

Morecambe are poised to throw the centre-back a League One lifeline.

He spent the second-half of the last campaign on loan at Wigan Athletic.
