Shrewsbury have agreed to sign Nottingham Forest striker Grant Holt for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old forward is now discussing personal terms with Town boss Paul Simpson after scoring three goals in 22 league starts for Forest last season.

Holt scored a total of 20 goals in 96 league appearances for Forest after a £300,000 move from Rochdale in January 2006.

The Carlisle-born striker began his League career at Sheffield Wednesday before moving to Rochdale in January 2004 and made four substitute appearances on loan at Blackpool towards the end of last season.

Carlisle, Hartlepool and Rochdale were also believed to be interested in signing the frontman.
