Jonny Drury sat down with Ollie Westbury to discuss the latest on the future of Dan Udoh.
The Salop striker has been offered a new deal at the Croud Meadow.
Ollie discusses any updates and when fans could hear about Udoh's future.
Transcript
00:00Oli, a few of the players who were offered contracts at Sarp have now departed, or are
00:13departing. One who has been offered a deal and we know it's been on the table for quite
00:17a while now is Daniel Udo, arguably Sarp's best player last season, scored a lot of goals
00:23for Shrewsbury and has done really well in recent years and fans are almost still waiting
00:27with bated breath whether he's going to sign this new contract. Is there any further update
00:33and in terms of moving this towards a conclusion, I'm sure this is something Paul Hurst is going
00:39to want to be done quite quickly given the fact he's started making moves in the transfer
00:43market.
00:44Yeah, Paul Hurst said when we last spoke to him that he will give him a certain amount
00:50of time before saying he needs to make a decision because Shrewsbury need to make alternative
00:56arrangements if Dan Udo doesn't sign. I don't know, I would have said the longer it goes
01:04on, perhaps the less likely it is that he is to stay. I know he's got married over the
01:12course of the summer so I think that will have played perhaps a factor into why maybe
01:19there's a delay. So yeah, there's no further update basically but the signs don't look
01:27good do they really? You would have thought that if he was going to stay that he'd be
01:31signing the contract and maybe staying or maybe he's just waiting to hold out to see
01:36what his options are and to see if he can get the best deal. But yeah, it's one of those
01:42with Dan Udo where the situation's not changed too much but I would probably expect to hear
01:48something, some murmurings over the next couple of weeks.
01:51In terms of those sort of timeframes, I'm guessing Paul Hurst hasn't explained those
01:57timeframes for you but he will want that done as soon as possible because he needs to go
02:03out there and scour the market and bring someone in who can score the goals that Dan Udo has.
02:07Yeah, absolutely. No, he hasn't. We won't be privy to that information but coaches generally
02:15want as many players in for pre-season as they can, which is the 27th of June I believe
02:19that the players are returning. So yeah, and then the pre-season friendly start just a
02:23couple of weeks after that. So it's an important time for Shrewsbury and they need to make
02:29sure that these decisions and these signings that they make, they get right.
