Abu Ogogo is impressed by Tyler Roberts' Shrewsbury start

Stand-in skipper Abu Ogogo believes West Bromwich Albion whizz-kid Tyler Roberts' ability is obvious as the youngster settles in with Town.

Roberts, on loan from the Premier League club until the end of the season, has made an assured start to life at Shrewsbury, impressing in his first two starts for Paul Hurst.

The forward only turned 18 earlier in the month and had failed to start at all in League One for Oxford United, where he spent the first half of the campaign.

"He looks like a very good player," said Ogogo. "He went to Oxford and it didn't work out for him there.

"He came in and on his first day of training you can see he's got ability, he's a very good addition to the squad.

"You can immediately tell (his ability). He's got that bit different to what we've got, he's a little bit different to Freddie (Ladapo) or whoever else up there – it's nice to have different options."
