Shrewsbury Town complete signing of Nick Freeman

Shrewsbury Town have completed the signing of Nick Freeman on a deal until the end of the season.

An incredibly versatile player, the 30-year-old joins Salop to bolster our options for the remainder of the campaign, bringing with him a wealth of experience in the EFL.

Freeman, whose favourite role is as a box-to-box midfielder, has made more than 250 senior appearances during his career.

He has previously featured for clubs including Stevenage, Wycombe Wanderers and Leyton Orient.

Boss Michael Appleton said: "Nick is vastly experienced and can play in multiple positions.

"He is comfortable at right-back or wing-back, can operate in central midfield and can also play out wide, which is invaluable when you’re working with a smaller squad.

"He brings real quality on the ball and great composure.

"And he is someone who, when we were looking at him from a reference point of view, people couldn't speak highly enough of his character.

"That’s often the hardest thing to judge when you’re recruiting, but every reference we received about Nick was extremely positive.

"All round, he’s a really good footballer who knows the level, and he’ll be a very good addition for us.”
