Shrewsbury Town taking a look at ex-Spurs midfielder Dean Parrett

Parrett has been on trial at the Greenhous Meadow in recent days and was handed a chance to impress in the club's reserve team fixture at home to Wigan Athletic this afternoon.

Turner said: "We've got Dean on trial. He was at Tottenham and has played at England Under-16, 17, 18 and 20 level. He's got a good pedigree but was released by Tottenham at the end of last season. I think he played against us for Yeovil last year in a 2-1 defeat down there.

"We will have a look at him. The reserve game gives us a chance to look at our existing players, our young players and a couple of trialists.

"Dean can play off a front player but he is midfielder primarily with a decent pedigree, so we'll have a look.

"Dean has been with us almost a week and he's looked OK in training. He's a good passer of the ball, has a good range of passing so we will see how he looks."
