Herd Joins Shrews

The 22-year-old right-back, who was released by the Hornets at the end of the season, has opted for a move to Shrewsbury in preference to Bournemouth who were also keen on his signature.

"He's a good signing and I'm really happy to have got him, he's a quick lively player," Shrews boss gary Peters told his clubs official website.

"He played in our reserves twice and he even came to train with us at the end of last season."

Herd has signed a two-year-contract at Gay Meadow.
