Paul Hurst has revealed Shrewsbury Town trumped interest from elsewhere to land the signature of trialist midfielder Jordan Rossiter.
Rossiter, 27, signed a one-year contract at Croud Meadow during Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw at neighbours AFC Telford United after two eye-catching trial displays.
Tenacious midfield battler Rossiter, a Liverpool academy graduate who played for Rangers between 2016 and 2020, has endured tough luck with injury over the last couple of years – notably a knee infection following surgery – but Hurst is chuffed with his capture. “There was at least one other option for him. But he said from the start once I’d spoken to him that he wants to be here and wanted to win the contract here.
“But from when we first spoke, I said how I’d watched the last four games from last season and he was pleased to hear that. I think it gave him the comfort he knew what kind of player he was. I think before he’d gone somewhere and they didn’t know what he was about.
