Ex-goalkeeper joins seven other former Shrewsbury Town stars at PFA camp
Former Salop keeper joins group of ex-Shrewsbury stars seeking new clubs
Former Shrewsbury Town goalkeeper Jamal Blackman has joined the Professional Footballers’ Association’s (PFA) free-agent camp.
The 32-year-old is among eight former Salop players taking part in the programme as they search for new clubs.
The goalkeeper only spent a short stint in Shropshire, having joined the club in December 2024 after a trial period. He made seven league appearances for Town as he was part of the side that suffered relegation from League One.
Blackman was released by Morecambe at the end of last season and is now on the hunt for a new club.
He joins several former Town players at the camp, including last season’s captain John Marquis and Anthony Scully. Marquis has been involved with the PFA camp for all seven weeks and recently found the net again in a friendly against QPR.
Other former Shrewsbury players at the camp are defender James Bolton, Josh Emmanuel, Sam Hart, Fejiri Okenabirhie and Vadaine Oliver.
They are among 44 free agents involved in week seven of the initiative, which is open to out-of-contract PFA members who were under professional contracts last season. The programme combines training, friendly matches and wellbeing support.
