Sigurdsson scored on his Shrewsbury debut against Bournemouth

Reading have turned down Shrewsbury's request to extend the loan spell of Iceland Under-21 midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson at the Prostar Stadium.

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson told BBC Radio Shropshire: "I'd like to have kept him for another month, but Reading want him back."

Simpson - who previously had Leyton Orient's Sean Thornton on loan - will look elsewhere for a midfielder.

Sigurdsson's final game for Shrewsbury will be at Chesterfield on Friday.
