Shrewsbury Town manager Gareth Ainsworth reveals the club will explore free agent options after failing to secure additional signings on deadline day. While they managed to bring in Vadaine Oliver on loan, Ainsworth says there are free agents on a list and he expects some to train with the club in the coming weeks. Former Wycombe midfielder David Wheeler was linked with a move, but Ainsworth confirmed that attempt hit a 'brick wall'.
Gareth Ainsworth says Shrewsbury Town are looking at free agents - but revealed former Wycombe midfielder David Wheeler has turned them down.Town had hoped to bring in several reinforcements on deadline day, but aside from Vadaine Oliver, who secured a season-long loan deal from Bradford City, they were unable to get players through the door.
He said:"There's lots of free agents out there. It's the right time, right place, and the necessity of needing someone. "All my focus is on Rotherham. If we need another player, there are some free agents out there. They'll be keeping themselves fit. On Wednesday, Wycombe announced experienced midfielder Wheeler had left the Chairboys, with speculation online immediately linking him with a move to Shropshire due to his connection with the Town boss.
"I know everyone will talk about free agents," he continued."I'm sure there'll be questions about Jason McCarthy and David Wheeler and people like that who've cancelled their contracts at Wycombe.
