Graham Turner hails Shrewsbury goalscoring defender Joe Jacobson

The 27-year-old left-back has scored three goals in his last nine games, including two in his last five.

Turner had called upon his squad to chip in with goals from all positions earlier this season and he has been delighted by Jacobson's contributions in this area.

Jacobson scored his first goal against Gillingham back in October, and he then hammered in a spectacular long-range effort against Sheffield United last month before nodding home his third of the campaign following a corner last weekend in the 3-1 win at Stevenage.

And Turner said: "You have got to be scoring from your set-plays and getting goals from all the outfield positions and Joe has chipped in well now.

"It was a cracking goal he got against Sheffield United, it was a terrific strike, unstoppable, and then he popped up in the right position and at the right time against Stevenage and finished it off well."

Jacobson's form in November earned him a nomination for League One player of the month but he missed out to Ryan Lowe of Tranmere Rovers.
