Town loan out Dave McAllister to Stevenage

The former Sheffield United star has joined town's League Two rivals in a bid to get first team football.

McAllister appeared 29 times for Shrewsbury last season, but the 25-year-old hasn't featured since picking up an ankle injury in March.

Earlier this week, manager Micky Mellon revealed McAllister and team-mate Aaron Wildig had been made available for loan.

Mellon said: "McAllister is an experienced player and really needs to be playing games, now that he is fully recovered from his operation.

"Stevenage have a busy month and this should see 'Macca' get his chance.

"We will be monitoring his progress closely and keeping tabs on how well he is doing."
