Video: Town bring in Daggers' Abu Ogogo

The 25-year-old has signed a two-year at the Greenhous Meadow on a Bosman free transfer after leaving League Two side Dagenham and Redbridge with his contract due to expire this summer.

Ogogo becomes boss Micky Mellon's third summer signing after Martin Woods.

With 253 games with the Daggers, Ogogo adds experience at League One and League Two levels to Mellon's squad as they prepare for life in the third tier.

Ogogo started his career with Wimbledon before he was spotted by Arsenal and came through the youth ranks with the Gunners.

He then gained first-team experience on loan at Barnet, playing nine games, moving to Dagenham in July 2009.

And he is delighted to have made the switch to Shropshire after spending his entire career in and around London.

Ogogo said: "It will be the first time I've moved away from home but it will be a good experience. I've been to Shrewsbury a few times and came up and met the manager and the chairman.

"There were a few clubs involved and I wanted to take my time and make sure I made the right decision. After having a chat with the manager, I went home, thought about it and feel I've made the right decision.

"I was at Dagenham for six years and thought it was time in my career I moved on. I started off there as a right back but have played in midfield in the past few seasons.

"I'm still only 25 but I've played over 250 games now."

Ogogo is looking forward to testing himself against the bigger clubs in League One.

He previously coming up against future £25million Liverpool and England star Adam Lallana when he was with Southampton at this level.

He said: "There's big teams in League One like Millwall and Sheffield United. There's a little bit of a break for a few weeks but then I'll be ready to come back for pre-season."
