Wainwright has been suffering with an Achilles injury for several weeks

Morecambe midfielder Neil Wainwright has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury.

Wainwright had been suffering with the problem for a number of weeks and was substituted at half time in Morecambe's last two league games.

Shrimps boss Sammy McIlroy told the club's website: "It's a big blow for us and for Neil.

"Being the lad he is, he has been desperate to play through the pain and he has done well despite suffering."

McIlroy added: "He has been one of our most consistent players in the past few months and has done a great job for us.

"But we don't want him to make things any worse because we want to make sure he is ready for the pre-season.''

Meanwhile, Wayne Curtis and Fraser McLachlan have verbally agreed to sign new one-year contracts.

The pair have agreed the deals which will keep them at Christie Park until the end of the 2009/10 season.
