Boss Sam Ricketts has dubbed Greg Docherty his ‘Duracell bunny’ – and believes the in-form midfielder epitomises his Shrewsbury team.

Docherty has caught the eye this season since arriving in the summer on a season-long loan from Rangers.

The 22-year-old has seven goals from midfield, the latest in last Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Peterborough.

And Ricketts said: “Doch is like the Duracell Bunny. He doesn’t stop running, does he? He’s a real asset and a real threat because of his energy and work rate.

“When he gets in that final third he looks dangerous, he scored one and put another excellent free-kick just after.

“He’s a player who probably typifies the team – honest, hard-working with quality added to it.”

Town have re-arranged their League One trip to Bradford for Tuesday, January 29.
