After signing on a short-term deal until the end of the 2023/24 season, Rayhaan Tulloch met with the press for the first time to speak about joining the club and his career to date.
The 23-year-old move to Salop was announced on Saturday just before our clash with Port Vale, a game in which Town picked up three important points.
An attacking player, Rayhaan had spent his whole career at West Bromwich Albion, starting when he was eight years old and ending with his departure in January.
With loan spells at Doncaster Rovers, Rochdale, Bradford City and Dundalk under his belt, Rayhaan also has experience as an England Youth international.
Speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire, Town's latest recruit discussed his new contract and his career to date, as well as providing a view on the weekend's win and our upcoming home matches against Exeter City and Carlisle United.

“Hopefully goals! I want to be exciting, get fans off their seats and stuff like that.
“I like to play anywhere in attack, left-wing, right-wing, as a ten, whichever.”
