Shrewsbury Town Signs Veteran Midfielder Sam Clucas on Two-Year Deal After Relegation

Shrewsbury Town has signed experienced midfielder Sam Clucas on a two-year deal as part of their efforts to strengthen the squad following their relegation to League Two. Clucas, 34, who has made over 450 professional appearances including 66 in the Premier League for Swansea and Hull, joins from Lincoln City and is expected to bring leadership on and off the pitch, including mentoring younger players. Director of football Micky Moore, who has known Clucas for over a decade, emphasized that his experience and leadership qualities are vital for fortifying the team's core and guiding younger talent. Clucas expressed enthusiasm about joining Shrewsbury, citing early interest from the head coach and a familiar environment with Moore as key reasons for the move. This signing follows that of defender Tom Anderson, with both players seen as pivotal in Shrewsbury's rebuilding process after finishing bottom of League One last season. Clucas's versatility and career journey through multiple clubs, compounded by recent injury challenges, set the stage for a fresh chapter at Shrewsbury Town.
