O'Donnell heading for Shrews exit

30 December 2010 15:30
Shrewsbury defender Danny O`Donnell is poised to leave the Greenhous Meadow in January having failed to earn an extended contract. The 24-year-old former Crewe man joined the League Two promotion hopefuls on a six-month deal over the summer and made a positive early impression before struggling with injury. But having regained fitness he failed to reclaim his place in Graham Turner`s backline and, after making a total of seven appearances of which the last came in late October, the Town boss has broken the news to O'Donnell ahead of this weekend`s short trip to Burton. "Danny was unfortunate that he got injured when he was doing well in the side," Turner told the club`s official website. "I`d like to thank him for his work over the last six months and I`m sure he will get fixed up with a club very soon."
