Jamie White has made two first-team starts for Southampton

Shrewsbury Town have strengthened their front line by signing young Southampton striker Jamie White on a month's loan.

White has moved north to Shropshire after another Shrewsbury striker, Michael Symes, this week headed in the opposite direction to the south coast.

Symes has joined League Two strugglers Bournemouth on a similar four-week deal.

White, who is 19 on Monday and came through the Southampton Academy, made his first-team debut back in August.

"We are lacking a little pace," Shrews boss Paul Simpson told the club website. "That's why I've brought him in.

"He's sharp and can play wide or down the middle, and I'm looking forward to working with him."
