Harrold joined Shrewsbury from Wycombe in the summer

Shrewsbury striker Matt Harrold is looking for a prolific goal partnership with Jake Robinson.

They have scored six goals so far, with Robinson getting a hat-trick on the opening day and summer signing Harrold scoring winners in the next two games.

"I don't know much about last season, but we seem to work well off each other," former Wycombe striker Harrold told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"We've got a good partnership, and I think it can get even better."

Robinson suffered injuries and a loss of form and confidence under Town's previous manager Paul Simpson but seems to be enjoying a new lease of life.

The more we play with each other though, the better it'll get between us. Let's hope it goes from strength to strength Matt Harrold

He was put straight into the starting line-up against Bradford on the first day of the League Two campaign, and rewarded new boss Graham Turner's faith with three goals.

"Jake may be a couple of goals ahead of me and might've grabbed the limelight but I don't mind that - competition between us is good," two-goal Harrold added.

"But it's early days. There's always time for me to catch up. We get on well off the pitch too, which helps I guess.

"But the more we play with each other though, the better it'll get between us. Let's hope it goes from strength to strength."
