Wycherley appointed Graham Turner as manager 12 months ago

Shrewsbury chairman Roland Wycherley says the club are determined to win promotion to League One next season.

Town reached the play-offs for the third time in five years this season but failed to secure promotion.

Wycherley assured fans: "The desire to play at a higher level is burning stronger than ever.

"[Boss] Graham Turner sought to change the squad, bringing in young players who've been given the chance to step up to the mark and how well they've done."

He added: "The infrastructure at this club is widely accepted to be ready for higher league football."

Manager Graham Turner confirmed the club's view, saying: "There's no doubt about the ambitions of the club.

"We've been talking to a number of potential signings, and players know we want to be among the frontrunners."

Turner rued missing out in the League Two play-offs as a possible put-off for League One players he has targeted.

But the Town boss added: "We've got the advantage of the great facilities and our reputation for helping and developing young players, so we're keeping a few plates in the air with possible signings."
