Shrewsbury Town Sign Sunderland Prospect Trey Ogunsuyi on Loan

The Belgium youth international arrives to earn senior minutes with the aim of strengthening Michael Appleton's attack.

Overview

  • The 19-year-old joins on a loan through the end of the season, confirmed on January 9.
  • Appleton highlighted Ogunsuyi's size, pace and movement and said he now needs minutes to showcase his skills.
  • A Sunderland academy product since age 10, he has one senior appearance for the Black Cats in last year's FA Cup.
  • He scored 15 goals in 20 games for Sunderland's U18 and U21 sides last season and spent the first half of this season on loan in Scotland with Falkirk, making nine league appearances with two starts.
  • Ogunsuyi is Shrewsbury's second January addition after Brentford loanee Iwan Morgan, with Appleton indicating further signings are likely as Town sit 22nd in League Two, two points above the drop.
