Ainsworth Favoured Shrewsbury

Lionel Ainsworth hopes he can re-kindle the form he found at Edgar Street when Graham Turner was in charge and that was the main reason he has chosen to join Shrewsbury as opposed to Hereford United.

Bulls manager Simon Davey gave details at the fans forum last night.

"We offered him everything he wanted but the problem was a man called Graham Turner.

"I had a text 10 minutes ago from Lee Clark to say he was to sign for Shrewsbury."

Davey would have liked to bring Ainsworth to Hereford but understood his reasons for going elsewhere.

"Turner is the only manager under whom he has been successful."

Ainsworth has failed to shine at Huddersfield on the field and off the field problems involving his family probably haven't helped.

He was arrested in March 2009 and charged with affray. His cousin Lian Munn had been murdered seven weeks earlier. However Police dropped charges last November.
