Shrewsbury Town is No 1 for Callum Burton
Goalkeeper Callum Burton always wanted to stay at his boyhood club after signing a new two-year deal with Shrewsbury Town.
The 19-year-old is the second Shrewsbury shot-stopper to put pen to paper on a new contract this summer, after Jayson Leutwiler also agreed to stay.
And the highly-rated youngster, who made his debut at Swindon on the final day of the season, is delighted to have sorted his future.
He told the club's website: "It is great to finally get it over the line. Ever since the season has been over I have wanted to get it sorted and get it done ready for next season.
"I can start working and getting ready and I know where I am going to be come the start of July.
"I signed my first one at 17 so it is the first time I have been offered a new deal and I had to look at it over the summer and then come in and sign it.
"It has been an interesting summer because it is the first time I have had this sort of situation being out of contract.
"It's good to get it over the line and know where I am going to be for the next two years. I knew from the end of the season when I got my debut that I wanted to stay and progress.
"It was just about getting away and thinking about everything but we were always in talks and wanted to tie down a deal that keeps me here.
"You speak to a lot of people. A lot of people's opinions come into your head. It is your decision but you have your family, the people who advise you.
"It's difficult to make a decision but when you know what you want to do and have a clear idea of where you want to be in the near future it makes sense.
"I want to stay here and play games. I got questioned about that (the speculation) earlier on but I knew what was going on.
"The club and I knew what we were speaking about and at the end of the day I knew I was trying to get a deal here and get it sorted for the start of the season."
Burton is now looking forward to pushing for a place in the match-day squad.
He said: "Jayson is brilliant. We have seen over the two years how good he is. You never know what could happen. You have to make sure you are ready at any time throughout the season."
