Shrewsbury sign Burnley's McMahon-Brown on loan

Shrewsbury Town have signed Burnley forward Kian McMahon-Brown on a season-long loan, with the 18-year-old signing a two-year deal with the Championship side this summer. The academy player of last season at Turf Moor, McMahon-Brown was named as such following the scoring of 11 goals for the Clarets Under-21 side. He represented the Republic of Ireland at the Under-17 World Cup last year, and Shrewsbury manager Gavin Cowan described him as "a really exciting player with a lot of potential and a really high ceiling".

Burnley have expressed high hopes for the young player, seeing him as a player with a bright future, and McMahon-Brown's versatility is also noted, as he can play as a nine or drop into the 10 position.
