Tom Bradshaw set for Shrewsbury Town return

Shrewsbury Town's teeenage striking sensation Tom Bradshaw will return to full training next week after recovering from an ankle injury.

The 18-year-old picked up the injury while on duty for Wales under-19s last month but Town boss Graham Turner expects the forward to be pushing for a return to the first team.

He said: "We think Tom will be back in training on Monday. He has recovered from the ankle injury he picked up while on duty with Wales but has recovered well.

"Tom won't be fit for the Stevenage game and the other long-term absentees Kris Bright and Nathan Elder are still out but it will be good to have Tom back next week."

Elsewhere, former Shrewsbury striker Craig Davies has been landed the npower League Two Player of the Month award for October.

The Telford-raised forward, who also turned out for Welsh Premier League outfit Newtown, enjoyed a prolific month scoring four goals including scoring two in the Spireites 4-3 win over Shrewsbury.

Member of the npower Football League Player of the Month panel Mark Clemmit said: "Craig Davies enjoyed another fantastic month. His strike against Shrewsbury Town is my goal of the season so far."

Meanwhile, Town defenders Ian Sharps and Dean Holden have been given new sponsored cars by Budgen Motors of Shrewsbury.

Skipper Sharps has the latest Peugeot 308 and Holden drives the Alfa Romeo Mito, and both visited the dealership this week to collect their vehicles.
