Button's contract extended

The Tottenham shot-stopper has spent the last two months on loan at the Prostar Stadium and been a major figure in helping Town cement their place in the play-off spots.

And manager Paul Simpson has revealed a deal to extend that temporary move until the end of the season should be completed over the weekend.

"We are all basically agreed to extend it," said the Town boss, of a goalkeeper who has conceded just 14 goals in his 15 starts for Shrewsbury.

"We can't do the paperwork until the weekend but everything is agreed and it's just a case of getting it all sorted now."

Meanwhile, Simpson hasn't ruled out the prospect of midfielder Craig Disley making a return to action this season.

The former Bristol Rovers midfielder saw his injury misery continue on Monday when he suffered a broken ankle in the 1-1 draw at Rotherham.

But Simpson, who will not look to bolster his ranks with a new loan signing at this stage, believes Disley could still play a part in the crucial run-in.

"There may be a possibility we could see Craig again towards the end of the season," he added.

"He had an x-ray on Tuesday which confirmed the break and had an MRI scan yesterday.

"He is due to go and see a specialist tomorrow so we can get the best course of action, whether it be an operation or just to keep it in a cast.

"He is still sore but if we can get a bit of luck and make sure he gets the right treatment, there is a chance he could be back before the end of the season.

"If not, hopefully next season Craig can have better luck with injuries."

Fourth placed Chesterfield pulled five points clear of Town, who are sixth, after a 1-0 victory at Crewe last night.
