Bulls face fight for Wilding
The news that Peter Wilding is to have a trial with Hereford United means a potential battle for his signature.
Tamworth and three Welsh Premiership clubs have confirmed an interest in the thirty-four year-old, who is expected to play in next Monday's friendly against West Bromwich Albion.
As Shrewsbury's longest-serving player until he failed to agree a new contract at Gay Meadow, he was widely respected by their fans for his consistent performances. His new contract offer was not high enough considering his commitment to the club, as the basic wage remained the same but added incentives were offered.
Wilding said late last month: "I have asked for a slight rise but I have not asked for the earth and I'm certainly not holding the club to ransom.
"I'm not having a full attack on Jimmy Quinn because his hands might be tied but I'm disappointed with the club because I've given them 110 per cent commitment and they've thrown it back in my face and treated me like a soft touch."
Shrews boss Quinn responded by saying: "I don't know where he's coming from because it's not as if he's been offered a reduction, because of the incentives for things like keeping clean sheets and challenging for promotion he's been offered a better contract. It's all about timing, it's very difficult to give somebody a rise when you have just been relegated."
However, Wilding had taken two pay-cuts over the last two years to stay at the club, and felt the latest offer was the final straw. He has attracted interest from Telford, has spoken to Tamworth and will play in Hereford's friendly against West Brom on Monday.
Meanwhile, the official website has reported that as West Bromwich Albion are bringing a reserve team for the friendly match on Monday evening at Edgar Street, admission prices have been slashed to just £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.
