Confirmed: Godfrey joins Shrewsbury on loan

Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey has signed for Shrewsbury Town on loan until January.

The club have confirmed that Godfrey has signed for League One side Shrewsbury and will be linking up with fellow Norwich players Ebou Adams and Carlton Morris.

Godfrey is the third player Norwich have sent Shrewsbury on loan, with the club building up a good relationship with the side a division below.

The defender impressed in pre-season and was rewarded with a bumper new contract to secure his future at Norwich for the foreseeable future.

Godfrey played the second most amount of minutes in pre-season, only second to Christoph Zimmermann, and showed his versatility in a number of positions.

Godfrey is capable of playing centre-back, right-back and in holding midfield. This makes him a useful addition for Shrewsbury.

The 19-year-old broke into the first-team set-up last season under Alex Neil and made six appearances during the campaign.

He made his debut at the start of last season against Coventry in the League Cup, scoring a screamer from 20-yards after coming off the bench in a 6-1 rout.
