Leahy was an instrumental figure during Steve Cotterill’s tenure as manager.

The 30-year-old arrived at Shrewsbury as a wing-back but was soon turned into a midfielder by the former boss, and he ended up scoring 12 goals across all competitions last season and winning the club’s player-of-the-season award for the second successive year.

Leahy had a good relationship with Cotterill, putting out a tweet thanking him when he left the club last week.

He said: “Some of my best football has come in these past two years, also a change of position and captaincy. On & off the pitch you’ve helped me enormously. Thank you Gaffer.”
