Shrewsbury Town are facing further frustration over Max Mata with the striker still awaiting Home Office clearance more than a fortnight after signing.
The 23-year-old New Zealand international joined from Sligo Rovers earlier this month but is unable to play while he waits for the green light to apply for a works visa.
But boss Matt Taylor yesterday admitted the club essentially remain in limbo as they wait for the machinery of government to click into gear. Mata’s absence means Taylor has only Ryan Bowman and Daniel Udoh as options up front with the duo having started all three League One matches to date. Strengthening in attack remains the focus of the club’s recruitment over the final two weeks of the transfer window, with the club in talks with several Premier League clubs over potential loan targets.
“It will be a difficult one for George now because he’s back on that road to recovery but it will be good to see him,” said Taylor.
