Loan winger Marc Pugh has had his departure from Shrewsbury confirmed.
Contrary to popular belief that he had long since departed the Prostar, Pugh had 12 months remaining on his contract but reached settlement on ending the deal with Paul Simpson telling their official site:
"Marc and I had a chat at the end of last season where I explained my plans to him. We both felt that it was in our best intrests that he moved on. We have reached an agreement on compensation and the savings made by doing this will be ploughed straight back into strengthening the squad further"
There is no word on the future plans of Pugh, but he is thought to be a target of Bulls boss John Trewick. He played nine times for the Bulls, scoring once, during the last two months of last season on loan at Edgar Street after previously costing the Shrews a reputed £50,000 when he signed from Bury.
