SAINTS academy midfielder Ryan Finnigan has joined Shrewsbury on a season-long loan deal.

The 19 year old makes the move to the League One club for the remainder of the season as he looks to continue his experience of senior football.

Finnigan had a successful loan spell a division below with Crewe Alexandra last season where he made 16 appearances and scored his first professional goal.

The club statement adds: “The club wishes Ryan the best during his loan spell and will continue to follow his progress in the EFL.”
