Miles Storey keen to team up with Tom Eaves for Shrewsbury Town

Storey aims to deliver the goods in terms of goals during his initial month-long loan move from Swindon Town and the 20-year-old former Wolves and Coventry youngster believes he could be an ideal foil for Eaves.

Swindon's tactic of playing one man up front has limited Storey's chances at the County Ground. The striker, who was expected to go into the squad for today's home game against Port Vale, has figured in just 15 games this season.

He has scored just once in that time but is relishing the chance to make an impact at Town in tandem with Eaves.

He said: "The way we play at Swindon at the minute is with one up top with two supporting wingers.

"The way I play is off the shoulder. I am quick, so I like to play off maybe another striker who can flick the ball on and get me in behind. I am very mobile.

"Tom Eaves is a big lad and he wins a lot of headers so maybe that will compliment me."

Storey is eager for a taste of regular action as Town bid to climb out of the relegation zone.

"I am hoping to help the manager out wherever he needs me, hopefully score some goals, play some games and just try to help the team."

He will face competition for a starting place up front from versatile winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who like Storey spent time at Wolves as a youngster, as well as Tom Bradshaw and Bahrudin Atajic.

And he said: "There's a lot of good forward players at the club but hopefully I can just add something a little bit different."
