That Luca Hoole won so many of #salop's player of the year awards last season says much about his overall contribution, so it's good news that he's staying. Having been with the club for last two seasons, it's also some welcome continuity to see him remain a Shrewsbury player.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Luca Hoole has signed a new 2 year contract keeping him at Shrewsbury 📻 @BBCShropSport understands Salop beat off stiff competition to retain his services #BBCFootball

Impressed with Arkell Jude-Boyd when he helped Cheltenham to a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury last Boxing Day. The Saint Lucia international looks a good addition to the #salop squad as Town"s first summer signing.
🚨 Shrewsbury Town have announced the signing of defender Arkell Jude-Boyd 📝 The 23-year-old has signed a two-year contract with an option for a third 🗣️ "He can play on both sides, right and left, he's really attacking, athletic and very quick" - Manager, Gavin Cowan #Salop | #BBCFootball

Mark Halstead, with Shrewsbury from 2014-17, signs for Colwyn Bay. Jayson Leutwiler's consistency restricted his opportunities, but had some good games for #salop, including saving a Billy Sharp penalty when Town, reduced to nine men in first half, lost 2-1 at Sheffield United.
✍️ We're delighted to confirm the signing of goalkeeper Mark Halstead! He arrives with experience in the English pyramid following notable spells with Blackpool, Shrewsbury and Morecambe.

An impressive eight-wicket victory for @shropshireccc in the second @NCCA_uk Twenty20 match here at @WemCricketClub today. Visitors @StaffsCCC had earlier won the opener, so honours ended even. Good to see a decent crowd watching, with the day well hosted by Wem.

One of #salop's best and most consistent performers last season, so it's good to hear the versatile Josh Ruffels is extending his stay at the Meadow.
🚨 Josh Ruffels to stay 🚨 He made 32 appearances last season 🗣️ “Josh has been sought after, but what’s really flattering is that he’s seen the way we’ve worked since coming in" - Manager, Gavin Cowan Thoughts #Salop fans? @BBCSport

Enjoyable night hosting An Evening with Darren Gough at the Croud Meadow. A lot of fun. He shared so many great stories, from taking an Ashes hat-trick in Sydney to winning Strictly Come Dancing, and lots more, with the event helping to raise funds for @FoundationSTFC 🏏

A good crowd making their way into the Meadow for tonight's Youth Alliance League National final between Shrewsbury and Wimbledon. It's a match between two under-18s teams who have both enjoyed excellent seasons.
