Shrewsbury Town have swooped to seal the dramatic re-signing of free agent Toto Nsiala – the fourth time Paul Hurst has signed the defender.
The centre-back, 32, spent 18 months at Shrewsbury under Hurst before he left to follow the manager to Ipswich Town, then of the Championship, at the end of Town's tilt at League One promotion in 2018.
The defender was a huge part of Hurst's Shrewsbury team adored by supporters as they rivalled Wigan and Blackburn for automatic promotion to the Championship, only to be pipped to the top two positions. Nsiala was with the Tractor Boys for three-and-a-half years before he joined Fleetwood Town in early 2022. After almost two years at the Cod Army, the former DR Congo international played out the final few months of last season with Burton Albion, who he helped survive relegation from the third tier.
Hurst said: “The fact I have signed Toto four times gives you an insight into what I think of him as a player and also as a character as well.
