Steve Cross: Squad depth key for Shrewsbury Town success
Shrewsbury Town legend Steve Cross says the club need to have a squad of 20 players to be competitive in League One next season.
Town currently have 11 senior professionals who were part of Steve Cotterill's squad last campaign – plus youngster Michael Parker who signed after a successful trial period at the club.
Director of football, Micky Moore, is currently working to bring in players while also leading the process of appointing a new head coach.
And Cross says they need 20 players in their squad for the new League One campaign to ensure they do not end up in the same position as they were last year – when injuries really hurt them.
He said: "So I am hoping that we will sign some forward-thinking players, who can score goals, we have got to have a least a squad of 20 professionals as otherwise we are likely to get a situation where we were last season.
