‘I’ll give everything’ - Michael Golding’s Shrewsbury Town message after loan move

Michael Golding is hoping he has struck gold at Shrewsbury Town after completing his loan switch from Leicester City.

The 20-year-old midfielder has joined Salop on a season-long deal and is now itching to cash in on his opportunity for regular first-team football.

Golding underwent his medical on Friday morning before putting pen to paper and training with Town ahead of their League Two clash with Salford City.

He said: “It’s been fantastic for me, going in, training with the boys. They have all been so welcoming to me and I can’t wait to get started on the pitch.

“I played Shrewsbury two years ago in a pre-season friendly and I know a lot about the club and its history. I just want to play first-team football, and I am really ready to help the team as much as I can.

“I can’t wait to get started playing games for Shrewsbury. I want to make an impact in the squad and give everything for the team.”

Golding arrives in Shropshire having made just one senior appearance for Leicester - in the Premier League in May last year - following his £4 million move to the Foxes from Chelsea.

The midfielder also boasts international pedigree, having represented both the Republic of Ireland and England. He captained England at the Uefa European Under-17 Championship in summer 2023.

“It was truly an honour and privilege to captain my country,” he added. “Hopefully I can take those leadership skills and help the team here.”

Golding made his Chelsea debut in the FA Cup in January 2024 under then-boss Mauricio Pochettino and is now looking to bring his creativity and attacking threat to Town.

He said: “I would say I am an exciting, creative player with an eye for goal, and who will give 110 per cent for the team.”
