The England Under-19 player is Shrewsbury's 13th incoming transfer this window.

Manager Paul Hurst was pleased with this move, stating: "We are really pleased because he’s one we’ve been looking at for a long time and initially we weren’t sure he’d be allowed to come out on loan.

"There was also word that he may end up in the Championship, so we're delighted to get him in and had to be patient on this one."
