Reports: Shrewsbury Town complete youth team signing of Hereford's Rory Huntbach

The 16-year-old midfielder, who was retained by Bulls boss Peter Beadle this summer, has agreed to return to Greenhous Meadow as a second year scholar - where he has previously had a spell - according to reports in Hereford.

Huntbach spent time with non-league Kington Town last term to secure first-team football. He had impressed in the Hereford youth team enough to gain a first team contract for the phoenix side, who have secured back-to-back promotions since their reform.

The midfielder, who has previously featured for Ludlow, said: "Tough decision but think it's probably the best move for me."

Five former Town scholars George Hughes, Ryan Sears, Callum Roberts, Chris Gallagher and John McAtee are expected to agree their first-year pro deals imminently. While Huntbach joins as a second-year scholar.
