The former Wales international, has not played a minute of competitive action this season; following a knee injury, but is now fully fit.

Town fans will not see fellow new capture Brad Walker, as he has returned to Wrexham on loan to abide by FIFA rules which only allow a player to feature for two separate clubs.

It has been confirmed that Lenell John-Lewis will be out for 12 months with a serious knee injury.

Winger Shaun Whalley (hamstring) is making good progress, but may not be fit in time to face Charlton.

Youngster Cameron Gregory is likely to be on the bench, with goalkeeper Joel Coleman returning to Huddersfield.

The player exodus at Shrewsbury Town is expected to continue, with Luke Hendrie and Bryn Morris likely to leave for Grimsby and Portsmouth respectively.
