Shrewsbury Town launch move for ex-Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers defender

Shrewsbury Town have made a bid for Northampton Town defender Aaron Pierre.

The 26-year-old will become a man in-demand this summer, as per a report by HITC Sport.

Pierre, who is a Grenada international with five caps to his name, has impressed for Northampton this season in League Two. He played 45 games in all competitions, chipping in with eight goals from centre-back.

Shrewsbury had a difficult season in the third tier after getting to the Play-Off final in the previous campaign. The Shrews will be hoping next season goes better for them and signing players like Pierre will certainly help them do this.

Pierre started his career at Fulham but made the switch across London to Brentford in 2011 after he was released by the Cottagers.

The 6ft 1inc defender made his first-team debut for the Bees in an EFL Trophy game against Southend United in December 2012. He went make a further two appearances for the Griffin Park club.

Pierre enjoyed loan spells at Cambridge United and Wycombe Wanderers before joining the Chairboys on a permanent deal in 2014. He spent three seasons at Adams Park, playing just under 150 games for them and scoring 10 goals.

He then moved to Northampton in July 2017 and has been there since. His contract with the Cobblers expires at the end of next season so their resolve could be tested by this Shrewsbury Town bid. There is also believed to be interest from elsewhere.
