Town have been searching for a new head coach since Paul Hurst was relieved of his duties more than a week ago.

The 51-year-old is quite the coup for the Shropshire side with his managerial CV. Here is a look back at his career so far. 

Ainsworth spent more than 10 years as manager of Wycombe Wanderers after being appointed in November 2012, then 39, after an initial spell in caretaker charge.

His first tilt at promotion from League Two with the Chairboys ended in heartbreak as his Wycombe side were beaten on penalties by Southend.
