Joshua Kayode becomes Shrewsbury's eighth summer signing after joining on a season loan from Rotherham.
Shrewsbury Town have made Joshua Kayode their eighth summer signing by recruiting the Rotherham United striker on a season-long loan.
"JJ is a player I have been aware of for a long time," said Town head coach Paul Hurst. "He has had a few loan moves with varying success and in recent times he hasn’t got the amount of games he would have liked. "He has had a good pre-season with Rotherham and joins us hungry and keen to show what he can do. He is a player that can play in different positions across the front line. He’s quick, strong, athletic and has an eye for goal."
Town are keen to solve last season's issues in front of goal. Finishing the League One season in 19th, Shrewsbury's tally of 35 was the lowest in the entire English Football League. Kayode has a career haul of 21 goals - three for Rotherham and the rest on a string of loans, three of them with Carlisle United, as well as Chesterfield, Gateshead and MK Dons. He has not found the net in his limited opportunities over the last two seasons.
