Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Simpson has admitted that he has held talks with former Bristol Rovers, Reading and QPR striker Jamie Cureton.

The 34-year-old has found himself down the pecking order at Norwich City with former Shrews star Grant Holt, Chris Martin and Cody McDonald all ahead of him in manager Paul Lambert's thoughts.

Simpson is keen on adding Cureton to his squad as he aims to enhance their League Two promotion credentials but admits he is struggling to attract new talent.

Speaking to reporters, he said: "Cureton's a player I've spoken to, but I haven't had a yes or no - but that also goes for a number of others.

"I'm looking for someone with a track record of scoring goals, but at the moment I'm hitting a brick wall."
