The 6ft 4in midfielder scored seven goals and registered two assists in 31 League Two appearances for Barrow last season, although the Bluebirds were relegated to the National League.

The midfielder joined Barrow from Spennymoor Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January 2025.

The 24-year-old has now made the move to Shropshire, becoming Shrewsbury’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Arkell Jude-Boyd from Cheltenham Town.

Fletcher began his career at Middlesbrough, joining the club as an under-10 before progressing through the academy and turning professional in November 2020.

He went on to have loan spells at Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United before scoring 11 goals in 22 appearances for Spennymoor, earning his move to Barrow.

Fletcher bolsters Town’s midfield and attacking options, with several departures at the end of last season leaving gaps to fill. Attacking midfielder Anthony Scully was among those released by Shrewsbury at the end of the campaign, while loanees Tommy McDermott and Iwan Morgan also featured in the role during the season.
