Extended Shrewsbury Town stay suits Nicky Wroe
Midfielder Nicky Wroe says his recent loan extension at Shrewsbury has brought him some stability – and he is keen to repay the club by helping them achieve the same in their League One campaign.
Wroe spent a season-and-a-half at the Greenhous Meadow between 2011-12, winning promotion from League Two at the end of that spell.
And having started his second stint in Shropshire, on loan from Preston North End last month, he was delighted to see the deal extended until January last week.
Now he is aiming to help Town, currently 15th in the league, climb the table, starting with tomorrow's trip to Port Vale.
"I came just for a month initially, so it was nice to extend it," he said."I'm looking forward to knowing where I am for the next couple of months and really getting stuck in. Hopefully we can start climbing that table."
Wroe found the net 11 times for Preston last season but having been a regular under Graham Westley, the man who took him to Deepdale, it's been a different story under predecessor Simon Grayson.
Wroe said: "The manager came in and made a few changes and the lads have been doing well in the league.
"I've been finding opportunities few and far between and I wanted to be playing regular. The manager understood that so he gave me the opportunity to come and play here and get some football.
"It was a shame I wasn't able to get off to a good start this season and cement my place in the team there.
"That's led to me coming here and I'm enjoying my time here so far."
He added: "When I first came back it was nice to know a few faces and I've got to know the other lads quite quickly. They've welcomed me into the group, so that's been good.
"But knowing quite a few already helped me integrate quicker than would normally be the case and that's been a positive thing."
As for what the future holds Wroe is keeping an open mind.
He said: "I don't know but come closer to January, we'll maybe have talks or whatever and see what happens."
