Harrison Biggins completes permanent move after Shrewsbury Town exit

Former Shrewsbury Town midfielder Harrison Biggins has joined League Two rivals Newport County on a permanent deal.

Biggins spent the second half of last season on loan at Rodney Parade before being released by Salop at the end of the campaign.

The 30-year-old has now completed a permanent move to the South Wales club ahead of the new season.

Biggins made 21 appearances for Newport after arriving on loan from Town in January, scoring three goals.

The midfielder made the switch after becoming unsettled at Shrewsbury. He made just nine competitive appearances for the club last season - six in League Two, two in the EFL Trophy and one in the FA Cup first round - without registering a goal or an assist.

Biggins would have been allowed to leave for free during the January transfer window had suitable interest materialised, but instead joined Newport on loan.

The 30-year-old made 29 appearances for Salop after arriving in Shropshire from Doncaster Rovers in June 2024. His last appearance for Shrewsbury was against South Shields in the FA Cup.
