Ashley Vincent is Micky Mellon's first signing for Shrewsbury Town
New Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon this afternoon completed his first signing for the club, recruiting former Cheltenham winger Ashley Vincent.
Mellon said he was looking forward to working with Vincent, having admired the 28-year-old for some time.
"He's someone I've been aware of since I was at Fleetwood and he's a really pacy, exciting attacking player with great technique," said Mellon.
"He can play on both wings and down the middle. He will fit right into the way we want to play at Shrewsbury and I'm delighted to get him on board.
"When I first spoke about coming to Shrewsbury, he was one of the first players I spoke about bringing in."
Vincent has twice been promoted from League Two, during his first spell at Cheltenham and also with Port Vale two years ago. He has also played for Colchester United after beginning his career as a youngster at Wolves.
Mellon hopes other new arrivals will soon follow.
He said: "We've got quite a few that we're waiting on to make decisions.
