Carl Winchester salutes key figure following Shrewsbury return
Midfielder Carl Winchester has revealed Dave Longwell played a huge part in bringing him back to the club last summer.
Winchester first joined Shrewsbury on transfer deadline day in 2022 coming to Shropshire from Sunderland on a season-long loan deal.
After a successful first season at the club under then manager Steve Cotterill he was brought back by head coach Matt Taylor – signing a two-year deal with Town.
And Winchester revealed in an exclusive interview with the Shropshire Star that it was Longwell, Salop's former first-team coach who has since joined Burnley, who played a huge role in getting the Northern Irishman back to Salop.
Winchester said: "It was Davey Longwell. He is not here anymore. But he was on at me all summer.
"He kept asking me what I was doing and I was like I don't know.
