The former Wolves academy prospect signed for the Bucks on a month loan deal in February - and has started every game since as the club fight for National League North survival.

Now after his seven appearances, the Bucks have struck a deal with the Ammies for the 21-year-old to remain in Shropshire for the rest of the season.

Melhado, who spent his youth career at Wolves and Burton Albion, was picked up by Salford from Newcastle Town last year and earlier this year spent time with Ashton United.
