Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst saluted George Nurse’s mentality after the defender made his comeback after 12 months out through injury.
Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw at Brackley Town was Nurse’s first action since suffering a second anterior cruciate ligament injury last July.
“Psychologically, that can’t be easy, so I am sure he is delighted to have got that first 45 minutes in terms of playing again. Former Wolves academy keeper Joe Young, currently on trial at Town, then made a smart stop with his legs to prevent Liam Cross winning the match for the National League North hosts.
New signings George Lloyd, Harrison Biggins and Toto Nsiala were all in action, but Toby Savin and Tommi O’Reilly were not involved, despite taking part in the warm-up.
