New Shrimps manager Stephen Robinson said: “Callum’s a young up and coming player with a really good future in the game.
“I spoke to Grant McCann, who couldn’t have spoken any higher of him.
“Callum will give us good versatility, he can play holding midfield, he can play as an eight, he has good legs and he’s a player beyond his years.
“He’s got an old head on young shoulders so we’re looking forward to working with Callum and his energy, we have high hopes for him.”
