Elder scored his first goal for Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson praised his strike partnership of Nathan Elder and Dave Hibbert for their start to the new League Two season.

Elder gave Town an early lead against Barnet on Saturday and Hibbert scored the second-half equaliser in their 2-2 draw at Underhill.

"I thought Nathan and Dave Hibbert were a constant threat," Simpson told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"They worked their markers and won the majority of their headers."

Elder's goal was his first since signing from Brentford during pre-season and Simpson said there is more to come from him.

"It was good to see him getting his first goal and probably should have scored a second," Simpson added,

Hibbert is enjoying a resurgence in his career at the Prostar Stadium scoring his third goal of the season after missing most of last season with a foot injury.

Town are fourth in League Two and prepare to travel to Dagenham and Redbridge on Tuesday night.
