Shrewsbury have signed Crystal Palace striker Freddie Ladapo on a six-month loan deal.
Ladapo has made 22 appearances for Sky Bet League One side Oldham this season and now joins Paul Hurst's side until the rest of the season.
The 23-year-old first came to Hurst's attention whilst playing for National League South side Margate but subsequently joined Palace after a successful trial period.
Ladapo hopes his experience at Boundary Park will stand him in good stead with the Shrews.
"Hopefully the experience I have gained from Oldham will help me do well at Shrewsbury," Ladapo told the club's official website.
"I've known the manager for a little while now and I've known he's been chasing me and liking me, so it was finally time to meet him.
"It looks like a good club with good people and hopefully we can turn around and get some good wins."
