Shrewsbury sign Sunderland striker Ogunsuyi on loan

Shrewsbury Town have signed teenage striker Trey Ogunsuyi on loan from Sunderland.

The 19-year-old Belgium youth international has played once for the Black Cats' first team - in an FA Cup tie a year ago - and spent the first half of last season with Scottish Premiership side Falkirk, where he made nine league appearances.

He had a prolific time with Sunderland's youth sides last season, scoring 15 goals in 20 appearances at under-18 and U21 level.

Ogunsuyi is Town's second signing of the January transfer window after the arrival of striker Iwan Morgan from Brentford on loan.

"Trey has got really good physical attributes, he is a big lad, he's strong and he's got good pace," Shrewsbury head coach Michael Appleton said.

"I like the fact his movement is good. He is comfortable running in behind just as much as he is coming towards the ball. He gives you both options.

"He has scored goals at youth level. Now he needs to showcase his skills.

"He didn't get the minutes he would have wanted at Falkirk, but hopefully we can give him that opportunity and he can score a lot of goals for us."

Ogunsuyi joins Salop with the club 22nd in League Two, just two points above the relegation zone.
