Salop are busy preparing their squad for the upcoming League Two season. Between Appleton and the club’s director of football Micky Moore, they have added five players already. 

So far, three central defenders in Tom Anderson, Will Boyle and Sam Stubbs have arrived, while they have added Sam Clucas in midfield and the versatile wing-back Tom Sang from Port Vale. 

But Shrews are yet to do any business at the front end of the pitch. 

John Marquis scored 11 League One goals last season, and George Lloyd has previous been promoted from League Two with Cheltenham Town.
