Paul Hurst has challenged Shrewsbury Town trialist and former favourite Jon Nolan to “let the shackles off” in a bid to prove his fitness.
Creative midfielder Nolan, 32, is back at the club on an unofficial basis six years after he departed for Ipswich with Paul Hurst, Chris Doig and team-mate Toto Nsiala.
Hurst has allowed Nolan to train at Sundorne Castle this summer in a bid to prove himself after the Shrewsbury boss admitted the midfielder – who featured late on against AFC Telford in midweek – had fallen out of love with the game. “He’s got to show his fitness, that has been an issue for a while and then I think him perhaps falling out of love with it a little bit, or getting frustrated with how his career had gone.
“I think he’s fully aware that, as much as we get on great and the history, a bit part of that can’t come into it – but it probably brought him to this point, to come and train, so we’ll see.”
