Shrewsbury midfielder Greg Docherty hails chief exec Brian Caldwell as key to Rangers loan move
Shrewsbury Town midfielder Greg Docherty has praised his compatriot and Salop supremo Brian Caldwell as the key factor in luring him to Shropshire.
Greg Docherty has caught the eye at the heart of John Askey’s midfield since completing his season-long loan switch from Steven Gerrard’s Rangers. The 21-year-old, who is highly thought of at Ibrox, joined Shrews rather than League One big-hitters Sunderland or options north of the border.
“To be fair it was very easy for me once I’d spoken to the chief exec and the manager,” said energetic box-to-box midfielder Docherty.
“It helps that he’s Scottish but he’s just a very genuine guy who’s probably the main reason I came down here.
“Right from the minute go they were patient with me, allowed me to take my time and assess options and they were always there in a good way.
“I sussed out the area, did my homework, spoke to guys that had played here before and obviously Rangers’ vice-captain Connor Goldson made a name for himself here.
“There you go right away, I knew you could do well, he got his move to Brighton. It’s a great platform and stepping-stone.
“That’s what Brian and the manager said to me, to go and express yourself down here and you never know.”
