It’s January transfer deadline day with the window closing at 11pm tonight, Ryan Hillback will provide updates throughout the day on the incomings and outgoings at Shrewsbury Town.
Clubs up and down the country will be desperate to secure those deadline day signings, that could help them with promotion or stave off relegation.
Shrewsbury Town will be no different, as Sam Ricketts is expected to make at least one deadline day capture; whilst players who are not part of his first team plans will be looking for moves.
Here is the latest:
Sunderland made late bid for Shrewsbury Town striker Okenabirhie
Former Premier League outfit Sunderland made a late approach for Shrewsbury Town hotshot Fejiri Okenabirhie.
The Black Cats were scrambling around for a striker late last night, as they were repeatedly frustrated in attempts to secure their targets.
Jack Ross’ side eventuality had a sixth bid accepted for ex Walsall man Will Grigg; although at the time of writing, that deal has not yet been ratified by the FA.
Sunderland are set to have made an approach for Fejiri Okenabirhie; who has wowed Town fans with his performances, scoring 14 goals in 30 games this season.
The former Dagenham man had only made three football league appearances for Stevenage prior to his arrival at Shrewsbury.
Sunderland also made a bid for ex Town loanee Tom Eaves; and Tranmere striker James Norwood. The North East outfit needed a striker after allowing Josh Maja to join French side Bordeaux for £3.5 million.
Shrewsbury Town finalise loan deal for Tyrese Campbell
Shrewsbury Town pull a rabbit out of the hat by announcing the loan capture of Stoke City forward Tyrese Campbell.
The 19-year-old is highly rated at the Bet 365 stadium, and has already made ten appearances for the club – four of which came in the Premier League.
Campbell is no stranger to Shrewsbury Town as he netted twice against them in the recent FA Cup Round 3 replay.
The former Manchester City academy product has linked up with Sam Ricketts’ side until the end of the campaign.
Lee Angol departs Shrewsbury Town for Lincoln City
Shrewsbury Town striker Lee Angol has joined promotion chasing Lincoln City until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old is behind Fejiri Okenabirhie, Sam Smith, and Aaron Amadi-Holloway in the pecking order.
Angol has struggled for goals at Town netting just four times in 25 appearances. This will be his second spell at Lincoln, as he was part of the Imps side that achieved promotion to League Two in 2017.
The 6ft 1 striker began his career at Wycombe, whilst he has spent time on loan at Hendon, Boreham Wood, and Maidenhead United.
The ex Peterborough United and Mansfield striker has scored 77 goals in 217 fixtures to date.
Former Shrewsbury Town Captain moves to Bristol Rovers
Abu Ogogo who left Town for Coventry City in the summer, has moved to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer.
The former Dagenham Captain and Arsenal trainee, featured sporadically for the Sky Blues – making 14 appearances.
Ogogo spent three years at Shrewsbury, featuring 124 times and scoring on five occasions.
Shrewsbury Town loan Derby County stopper Jonathan Mitchell
The 24-year-old joins the club until the end of the season, and will provide competition for a starting birth alongside Steve Arnold and Reice Charles-Cook.
Mitchell began his career at Newcastle United but did not break through to the first team. He took in loan spells at Workington before moving to Derby in 2014.
He has made five appearances for the Championship club, and enjoyed successful loans at Luton and Oxford.
Mitchell was called up to the England U21 squad for games against Kazakhstan and Bosnia in 2017.
Shrewsbury Town resign Stefan Payne
Town were expected to draft in a deadline day striker, but not many will have predicted the loan return of Stefan Payne.
The 27-year-old fired 16 goals in 63 appearances for Shrewsbury across two spells, but departed for Bristol Rovers last summer.
Payne has not been as free-scoring as he would have liked for The Gas; netting just three times in 27 matches.
The Lambeth born striker made his name in non-league following spells with Gillingham and Fulham.
Payne joined Barnsley in 2016 – but couldn’t find the back of the net in 12 games. He has notched 64 times in 251 career fixtures.
Could Lee Angol be set for a move?
The former Tottenham Hotspur academy product, was left out of the squad against Bradford City on Tuesday night.
Angol has found regular goal scoring hard to come by, netting just four in 25 appearances since his arrival in the summer.
He is behind Fejiri Okenabirhie, Aaron Amadi-Holloway, and Sam Smith in the pecking order; whilst Town are thought to be keen on adding another striker to their ranks.
It is understood that Angol is of interest to his former club Mansfield, whilst Gillingham are linked should ex Town man Tom Eaves leave for Sunderland.
