Free agent market: The League One players out of contract this season that Shrewsbury Town could consider

More than a dozen members of Town's first-team squad see their Montgomery Waters Meadow deals expire on June 30, with Steve Cotterill likely to put his stamp on the club.

But, as the transfer market continues to recover from the ramifications of the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of clubs in Shrewsbury's League One find themselves in a similar position this summer.

It looks likely that the free agent market could play as big a role as ever. Could there be some gems to unearth from League One outfits this year?

Here, we look at all of the players whose deals are set to expire at most of Salop's third tier rivals.
