Fri 14 Mar, 06:45 PM


New Shrewsbury manager Paul Simpson has a fully-fit squad to select from ahead of his first game in charge against lowly Macclesfield.The former Preston and Carlisle manager arrived on a three-year deal on Wednesday following the departure of Gary Peters and will be hoping to lead the Shrews to a first win in 10.

Simpson has quickly moved to add to his defensive options by recalling defender Luke Jones from his loan spell at Kidderminster.

The 20-year-old is expected to claim a place on the bench after impressing during six starts for the Blue Square Premier side.

The 16th-placed Shrews go into the game fresh from recent morale-boosting draws with Rotherham and Darlington and bidding to secure a double over the Silkmen after a 2-0 success back in December.
