Shrewsbury Town has announced the signing of Byron Pendleton, the latest addition to their squad. The 20-year-old arrives following a successful loan spell at Brackley Town, where he briefly worked under head coach Gavin Cowan.
What areas still need strengthening?
The defensive unit is beginning to look well stocked, but other areas of the squad still need reinforcement. Behind the defense, Will Brook is currently the club’s only senior goalkeeper, and the midfield looks a little light as it stands.
Who are the new signings?
Alongside Kevin Berkoe, Arkell Jude-Boyd, and now Pendleton, Town have added versatility and depth to their defensive options. The retention of Luca Hoole and Josh Ruffels almost felt like two new signings in themselves.
What comes next for Shrewsbury?
As things stand, you would expect a new goalkeeper to arrive before the start of the campaign. Further forward, Shrewsbury have two promising young midfielders in Will Gray and Isaac England, both of whom are highly regarded by the club. With their recent form showing 0 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 5 games, Shrewsbury will be looking to turn their season around, having finished 19th in League Two with 49 points, 38 points behind leaders Bromley, and a goal difference of -27 from 42 scored and 69 conceded.
