Grant Holt, Shrewsbury Town's record buy, scored twice on his home debut against West Brom, but Do-Heon Kim and James Morrison rescued the Albion.

Holt - a �170,000 summer purchase from Nottingham Forest - struck early in the second half, with his second goal capping a fine Shrewsbury move.

But Kim and Morrison saved the Baggies with two quality long-range strikes.

Earlier, Neil Clement hit the post for Albion, but Holt was denied a hat-trick by keeper Dean Kiely.

"Holt's here to score goals, but it was a good team performance against good opposition," Town boss Paul Simpson told BBC Radio Shropshire.

Albion manager Tony Mowbray applauded the two late goals from Kim and Morrison, adding: "They are two players who will be threatening (to get into) our team this season."
