Bright recently had trials at Norwich and Gillingham

Shrewsbury Town have signed New Zealand international striker Kris Bright, and young West Brom midfielder Joss Labadie on an initial month-long loan.

Bright, 22, who played for Panserraikos in the Greek Super League last season, has signed a two-year deal.

He appeared for the Shrews in last weekend's friendly at Tranmere, and also had a summer trial with Norwich.

Labadie, 18, had a spell at the Prostar Stadium last season, only to have it cut short by a metatarsal injury.

"Hopefully I can make it last a little longer this time and get through to January," Labadie told Shrewsbury's website.

"It is great to be back and I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead. I can't wait to get cracking in training."
