Town had hoped to get one more player through the door in the January transfer window, but they missed out during the final hours on deadline day.

When the market shut more than two weeks ago, Ainsworth said Salop would consider looking at free agents - but as of yet, no one has come through the door to provide reinforcements. 

Town have had a couple of injury blows in recent weeks, with Taylor Perry and Leo Castledine both missing matches, and the boss says if Shrews are going to dip into the market, then it will only be for the 'right' player.
