Shrewsbury is considering a move for Grimsby goalkeeper James McKeown. The transfer deadline is rapidly approaching, and Paul Hurst is remaining tight-lipped on the potential signing.
What's the situation?
Shrewsbury currently has four goalkeepers at the Meadow, including Jayson Leutwiler, Mark Halstead, Callum Burton, and Shaun Rowley.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
Hurst has completed six signings so far this window but revealed he is searching for a couple more additions before the deadline. The potential signing of McKeown could strengthen Shrewsbury's squad, currently 19th in League Two with 49 points.
What comes next?
The Birmingham-born keeper has made 260 appearances for Grimsby and has been favored by Hurst in the past. McKeown's experience could be valuable for Shrewsbury, who has struggled with goalkeeping consistency this season.

Shrewsbury's last result was a 1-0 loss to Gillingham on May 2, 2026. The team is looking to turn their season around, and the potential signing of McKeown could be a step in the right direction. With the transfer deadline looming, Hurst will need to make a decision quickly if he wants to bring McKeown to the Meadow.
