Thanks, no thanks – Shrewsbury

Thanks – James Caton

Shrewsbury have to be thanked for loaning us James Caton, a player I had a huge admiration for during his short spell in red and white.

Most fans will remember James Caton as a tricky and fast wide player who could cut inside at turn defenders on the wrong foot. In eight starts he managed three goals, one an absolute stunner against Eastleigh in a fine 3-0 win. On the expiry of his loan, he was linked with a move back to us, but the arrival of Danny Cowley seemed to scupper that.

Cowley brought him back in on trial throughout the close season of 2016/17 and it seemed a deal was in the offing. He appeared in most of the pre-season friendlies and it was a case of ‘when’ he signed rather than ‘if’.

However, at the eleventh hour, he was told there was no deal with Nathan Arnold coming in instead. A devastated Caton ended up at struggling Southport and hasn’t kicked on since.

  1. So you eventually and grudgingly admit we should have been down to ten men for the majority of the game. How very commendable. Keep up the good work.
