Shrews defender Harry Hooman's loan is hailed

Teenage Shrewsbury Town defender Harry Hooman will come back from his loan move at Hinckley United a stronger player, according to Town boss Graham Turner.

Hooman has moved to the Blue Square Bet North outfit on a month's loan and was in line to make his debut in their FA Trophy clash away to FC United of Manchester today.

The 19-year-old has yet to play for the first team under Turner but did make two appearances for the club in League Two last season.

And the Town boss said the move had come at the right time for the young centre-half.

"We've wanted to get a few of the young lads out on loan," confirmed Turner.

"We've had the opportunity with Harry and we hope he enjoys his month at Hinckley and it will do him the world of good.

"It will be better than reserve team football and he starts this weekend with their game away to FC United in the FA Trophy game - which is a good game for him.

"Hopefully he can come back with some experience of first team football and come back to us a stronger player."
