Gavin Cowan confident more Shrewsbury Town signings are on the way

Gavin Cowan is confident Shrewsbury Town fans will receive positive transfer news soon as the club continues its search for further additions.

Town have made eight signings during their summer rebuild so far, with Cowan still keen to strengthen in attacking areas. And he has hinted more arrivals could be just around the corner.

Asked whether more signings were on the way, Cowan said: “Yeah, I’d like to think so. Obviously, we’ve got a bit of work to do, it doesn’t move in straight lines.

“I’m really thankful to get as much backing as possible. I keep referring to where we’re at at the moment, that’s just to try and bring a bit of realism to it and put perspective on it. But for what we're capable of, I’m getting full backing to go and do that.

“We have to balance books and obviously we’ve got players that are on the transfer list at the moment. We’re trying to be patient.

“I’d like to think that there’ll be some good news for fans coming soon. How long that takes will be dependent on how we can manage the business side of it.”

Town have missed out on summer target Iwan Morgan, who has joined Grimsby Town on a permanent deal.

Despite that setback, Cowan is pleased with the business the club has conducted so far this summer.

He added: “It’s been quite exasperating at times. I promised that I’d be in every room and I think I’ve fulfilled that promise.

“But the nature of where we’re at at the moment is you’re going to miss out on a few.

“In terms of who we have got in the building, I am really happy with where we’re at.

“When you take it as a bigger picture for where we are budget-wise, for what we're able to recruit, I think we've maximised it and got the best version of it.”
