Sam Ricketts First Interview

Shrewsbury Town are delighted to announce Sam Ricketts as the new First Team Manager of the Club.

After discussions with Wrexham AFC, compensation was agreed to allow the Town to speak to Sam. Those discussions have been successful and the club is pleased that Sam has agreed to join Shrewsbury Town FC.

Whilst making the decision, Chairman, Roland Wycherley and Chief Executive, Brian Caldwell were determined to include Danny Coyne in the selection process.

Sam has known Danny for a number of years playing at International level together for Wales and he also knows Eric Ramsay who he holds in high esteem.

We believe that the appointment will add to and complement the existing structure and provide stability for success in the coming months.

Sam spoke to Shrewsweb about signing for the club.

"I'm delighted to be here, it's a club for probably the last 4 or 5 years I've looked at fondly.

"I thought it would always be a good place to manage and when the opportunity came around I was delighted to do so."
