Briggs leaves New Meadow

Keith Briggs has left Shrewsbury after boss Gary Peters decided not to offer him a contract. Briggs joined the Shrews on non-contract terms after training with the club for a fortnight. He scored on his debut in the 3-1 defeat to Hereford but Peters has decided against handing him a deal because he felt it would not sufficiently improve his side. He told the club's official website: "Keith is a good lad, a steady type who knows and understands the game and is a very likeable character. "Unfortunately I felt that he didn't make that difference. He would have been a good steady player but wouldn't make us that much better. "With that in mind I thought it was pointless to give him a contract because if I did it would be stopping players who probably need the games to improve."
