Lee looks to make Shrews impact

Graeme Lee
Lee is looking to secure a long-term Shrewsbury deal

Shrewsbury Town's new loan signing Graeme Lee is hoping to impress enough to earn a full contract.

"The club's obviously ambitious and I'm glad to be part of it," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"I know it's a young team, but I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do together.

"I'm here for a month initially, but hopefully I can impress the manager and we can sit down and talk about the future."

Town boss Paul Simpson targetted Lee as soon as he took up the managerial reins last week, but could not prise him from Doncaster straight away.

"He's just the sort of player I want - competitive, big in the air, and a captain-type player," he said.

Lee is fully fit after an ankle injury problem, and at 29 will be one of the senior players at Shrewsbury.

He is Simpson's first signing, and is likely to be followed by one or even two more as the new manager looks to add to his squad before the loan-window closes on Thursday.
