Shrewsbury Town have signed defender Byron Pendleton on a two-year contract. The 20-year-old right-back previously played for Salop boss Gavin Cowan in the second half of last season when the pair were at Brackley Town.
What happened?
Pendleton began his career with Birmingham City, where he became captain of the club's under-21s side. He had a loan spell with Yeovil Town in the first half of the last season.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
Pendleton is the fourth new recruit so far this summer, joining Arkell Jude-Boyd, Isaac Fletcher, and Josh Davison. This signing comes as Shrewsbury looks to improve their league standing, currently 19th in League Two with 49 points from 46 games.
