Overview
- Shrewsbury confirmed this week that Byron Pendleton has signed a two-year contract with an option for a third year, with Birmingham City reporting the move for an undisclosed fee and Pendleton set to join pre-season.
- Pendleton reunites with manager Gavin Cowan, who managed him during a loan at Brackley Town where he won both the players’ player and captain’s player awards before an injury ended his spell.
- A product of Birmingham City’s academy since age five, Pendleton captained the club’s under-21 side in 2024/25 and featured in the first-team pre-season squad in 2024 without making a competitive senior appearance.
- Pendleton describes himself as an athletic, attacking full-back who likes to run at opponents, deliver crosses and work hard defensively, and he has pledged to give 110 percent for his new club.
- His arrival is Shrewsbury’s fourth signing of the summer and strengthens full-back depth and versatility, but the club still needs additional attacking options and at least one more goalkeeper before the League Two season starts.
