Gozie Ugwu completes loan move to Shrewsbury Town
Shrewsbury Town have today signed striker Gozie Ugwu on loan from Championship side Reading.
Town boss Graham Turner has brought in the 20-year-old forward until January 2 on a youth loan.
Ugwu is yet to break into the Royals first team but has acquired experience in Leagues One and Two as well as the Conference Premier with previous loan spells at Yeovil Town, Plymouth Argyle and Ebbsfleet United.
The Reading academy graduate has been on Turner's hit list for some time and he will be available for this weekend's trip to Port Vale.
Turner said: "I've been chasing Gozie for some time and it's pleasing to have finally been able to secure his services.
"I had hoped to bring him in on loan earlier this season having watched him play for Reading's under-21s but he did so well that night Reading wanted to hold on to him for a while longer.
"I've continued to keep a close eye on him and Gozie gives us another attacking option. He's a good addition to the squad."
