Shrewsbury Town linked with Miles Storey bid
Shrewsbury Town were today linked with a move for Swindon Town striker Miles Storey.
The 20-year-old attacker is reportedly attracting interest from three clubs with Portsmouth and Notts County also believed to be in the hunt.
All three are said to be considering a loan move for Storey, who spent a temporary spell at the Greenhous Meadow in the second half of last season.
Storey, who was born in Sandwell, still has a year remaining on his contract at Swindon but it is believed that the Wiltshire-based club are willing to listen to loan offers.
He played six times during his loan spell at Shrewsbury, which saw the team win one, draw four and lose one in games against Port Vale, Notts County, Coventry, Bristol City, Crawley and his boyhood club Wolves.
The former Wolves and Coventry youth team player then returned to the County Ground where he featured regularly for Robins boss Mark Cooper, playing eight games in their end-of-season run-in.
Storey finished the season with a total of three goals from 29 games which also took in a brief loan spell at Skrill Premier side Salisbury in October.
He has enjoyed a greater role in the first team this season, having played just 11 times in the previous campaign, in which he also netted three times including a famous brace to knock Premier League Aston Villa out of the Capital One Cup in October 2012.
Town are known to be on the hunt for strikers as they look to rebuild following their relegation to League Two in the season just gone.
They finished the last campaign with just one established first team striker on their books, Tom Bradshaw, who is out of contract this summer.
Shrewsbury were last week linked with a move for former York City striker Jason Walker, who left Forest Green by mutual consent following the end of the Skrill Premier season.
The 30-year-old, who is currently without a club, was reported to be interesting a number of clubs, including Town and Tranmere Rovers.
