Burns joins Shrewsbury

Last updated : 10 December 2004 By Chris Barnes
Ian Atkins has continued triming his squad today by allowing Liam Burns to join Shrewsbury on a free transfer.

The Irish centre-back joined Rovers on a week-to-week deal in the summer after being released by Port Vale.

However, he has been reduced to a squad player behind Edwards, Anderson and Elliott, making only five apperances in the blue and white quarters.

Burns made the switch today with a Ian Atkins message of good luck.

The impending departure of Richard Walker and loan move of Ryan Williams leaves Ian Atkins with a squad of only fifteen fit professionals.
