Pugh Agrees Bulls Deal

Former loan winger Marc Pugh has signed for the Bulls according to BBC Hereford and Worcester.

Pugh ended his Shrewsbury contract by mutual consent last Friday, signing for the Bulls today after a loan spell at Edgar Street last season that saw him operate up front as well as on the wing. He has played a total of 116 games over four seasons, starting as a trainee at Burnley before a two year spell at Bury was followed by a £50,000 move to Shrewsbury two seasons ago.

He becomes the sixteenth player to agree terms with the Bulls for the coming season, leaving two spaces in the Bulls squad for the 18 that John Trewick wants for pre-season training, which begins on Thursday.

Graham Turner talked to BBC H&W about Pugh's move: "He enjoyed it here and reached a deal with Shrewsbury over the final year of his contract."

"He has got a bit of versatility as he can play wide on either side or up front, so he's another good addition. Sometimes you get players who lose their way at clubs and they need a little bit of care and attention. He has not had too many opportunities at Shrewsbury since the change of manager.

"I think he will benefit from the fact that the people here believe he has got enough ability to make an impact."
