Shrewsbury sign Wrexham centre-back Boyle

Will Boyle has had permanent spells with Cheltenham and Wrexham either side of two with Huddersfield

Shrewsbury Town have made their fourth signing of the summer transfer window after completing a deal for Wrexham centre-back Will Boyle.

Town were among a number of clubs keen to sign the 29-year-old, who was part of the Dragons' back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship over the last two seasons.

Boyle previously spent five-and-a-half years with Cheltenham Town, where he worked under current Salop director of football Micky Moore.

"Will is someone I have known for a long time and we have had a lot of success together," Moore said.

"He brings standout attributes that will strengthen the group for the challenges ahead.

"He's a natural leader, has been part of promotion-winning teams, and his experience will be crucial both on and off the pitch."

Boyle has signed a two-year contract and joins fellow new recruits defenders Sam Stubbs and Tom Anderson and midfielder Sam Clucas ahead of the club's return to League Two following relegation last season.
