Shrewsbury sign Villa's O'Reilly on season-long loan

Tommi O'Reilly made his Aston Villa debut in last season's Europa Conference League tie against Zrinjski Mostar

Shrewsbury Town have made their fifth summer signing by bringing in Aston Villa youngster Tommi O'Reilly on loan.

The 20-year-old midfielder is to move to Shropshire on a season-long deal.

He follows the arrival of fellow midfielder Harrison Biggins, goalkeeper Toby Savin, striker George Lloyd and defender Toto Nsiala.

Shrewsbury finished 19th in League One last season.

Former Town manager Paul Hurst returned to the club mid-season to succeed the sacked Matt Taylor, but he managed just four wins from his 18 games back in charge.

They start the new season on Saturday, 10 August with an away trip to Stevenage.
