Shrews deny approach for Dunfield

Dunfield has scored three goals in 69 appearances for Macclesfield

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson has denied reports that they offered �50,000 for Macclesfield Town midfielder Terry Dunfield - and were turned down.

The Silkmen claim they have turned down two bids from an unnamed League Two club for the 26-year-old Canadian.

Simpson told BBC Radio Shropshire: "�50,000? That's not true. Dunfield is one of many players I have an interest in but that's all it is at the moment.

"We'll see who else takes our eye who can come in to improve our squad."

The Silkmen have offered Dunfield a two-year contract extension on improved terms to stay at the Moss Rose.

Dunfield joined Macclesfield in July 2007 following a spell out of the game.

Meanwhile, Shrewsbury's postponed home game with Chester City, called off because of part of the pitch being frozen last Saturday, will now be played on Tuesday, 17 February (1945 GMT).
