Grant could come back to haunt Bulls

John Grant is to move from Shrewsbury to Halifax and, just like David Brown, could come back to haunt the Bulls before the end of the season.

Halifax are reported to have been looking for a striker to replace Darren Mansaram who is out with an injury.

23-year-old Grant, whose contract at Gay Meadow was due to expire at the end of the season, arrives at the Shay with plenty of Conference experience according to BBC Sport.

The former Crewe striker played for Northwich, Hereford and Telford, where he scored eight times last season before joining the Shrews in July.

The following has appeared on the Official Shrewsury Website:

Grant caught the eye on the number of times that Town and Telford locked horns last season and was a close season signing by Jimmy Quinn. He's made just short of 20 appearances in that time getting 2 goals. Those goals came in Gary Peters first games in charge when Granty looked to have forced his way in to the first team but this was short lived and he has only made a few appearances as sub since.

"He's not been getting in the side so it's a good move for him to go to Halifax," commented Peters.

"John's a great lad who runs and works very hard for the team and I can't fault him on any of that. He's a player who won't score that many goals and needs to be getting first team games to work on his touch."

Hereford United travel to Halifax on April 16th.
