Shrewsbury Town: Michael Appleton admits move away from his usual recruitment plan
Michael Appleton admits Shrewsbury Town’s summer recruitment is not his usual way - but says there was an early realisation they must improve defensively.
The 49-year-old was appointed as the head coach of Shrewsbury Town at the back end of last season, after former boss Gareth Ainsworth walked out on the Shropshire club to join their now League Two rivals Gillingham.
At first, he was made interim head coach, before signing a two-year deal at Croud Meadow before their penultimate game of last season against Crawley Town.
The former Lincoln, Portsmouth and Blackpool boss is known for his coaching ability and getting the best out of young players. He also has a reputation for playing free-flowing football.
