Everything to know about new Shrewsbury Town signing Isaac Fletcher

Isaac Fletcher became Shrewsbury Town’s second signing of the summer - here’s everything to know about him.

Fletcher joins for an undisclosed fee from Barrow, who were relegated from League Two to the National League last season.

The 6ft 4in attacking midfielder is expected to add creativity and a goal threat to Shrewsbury’s midfield options next season.

He becomes Shrewsbury’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Arkell Jude-Boyd, and the third addition made under Gavin Cowan.

Career beginnings

Fletcher came through the ranks at Middlesbrough after joining the club as an under-10, signing his first professional contract in 2020.

He gained senior experience during loan spells at Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United, scoring his first professional goal in a 2–1 win over Colchester United while at Hartlepool.

Move to Spennymoor

After leaving Middlesbrough in 2023, Fletcher joined Spennymoor Town, where his goalscoring form earned him a return to the Football League with Barrow the following year.

The 24-year-old made an impressive start to the 2024/25 season, reaching double figures by early October, with 11 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions for Spennymoor before his move.

Time at Barrow

Fletcher signed for Barrow on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

He made 11 appearances in all competitions during his first half-season, scoring once and providing two assists.

In the most recent campaign, he scored seven goals and registered two assists in 31 League Two appearances as Barrow were relegated to the National League.

Move to Shropshire

Fletcher has now joined Shrewsbury Town on a two-year deal at the Croud Meadow.

He becomes Gavin Cowan’s second signing of the summer and his third overall since taking charge in late January.

The 24-year-old has been on Cowan’s radar for some time and adds further depth and versatility to Town’s midfield and attacking options ahead of the new season.
