Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Simpson has dismissed speculation linking star striker Grant Holt with a move away from the League Two club this summer.

A number of higher division outfits have been linked with moves for the 28-year-old, who is currently recovering from ankle surgery.

Simpson told the club's official website: "Grant has been doing his rehab and receiving treatment and is very close to starting to jog.

"The plan is that he will be going to Lilleshall for some intensive rehab and will hopefully join the rest of the squad in the middle of July.

"There have been a number of rumours circulating about Grant leaving the club, but I am still planning for Grant Holt to be wearing our shirt next season.

"We are in the fortunate position at this football club where financially we don't have to sell."
