Shrewsbury Town have made their first two summer transfer moves by bringing in Cheltenham Town striker George Lloyd and re-signing former defender Toto Nsiala - both on two-year deals.
Lloyd is reunited with both Town's director of football Micky Moore, who spent time with Cheltenham in the same role before joining Shrewsbury last summer, and head coach Paul Hurst.
The 24-year-old played under Hurst at Grimsby, one of three loan moves he had while at Whaddon Road, having also enjoyed spells at Hereford and Port Vale.
Lloyd will be hoping to improve Town's record as the EFL's lowest scorers in 2023-24. But he only scored twice throughout the whole campaign - both in the 2-0 Boxing Day home win over Shrewsbury.
"George is a player who had a lot of interest in him so we’re really pleased he chose us," said Hurst.
"The fact he knows how we work and had a successful loan spell with us at Grimsby I’m sure helped him make that decision."
