Shrewsbury Town have signed attacking midfielder Roland Idowu from Waterford on a two-year deal.

The 21-year-old joins the League One side having scored nine goals and provided nine assists in 33 games for the League of Ireland First Division side.

His move will be completed when the transfer window opens in January.

"It's something I've been waiting a while for, to jump to this level," Idowu said.

"There was interest for a while but then in recent weeks it's got more serious and I'm delighted that I'm here now."

Idowu will be reunited with former Waterford team-mate Tunmise Sobowale at Shrewsbury, with the wing-back making the same move in July.
