HITC Sport understands Huddersfield goalkeeper Joel Coleman is being lined up for a loan move to Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury Town are closing in on the signing of highly-rated Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Joel Coleman, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

League One hopefuls Shrewsbury have been in the market for a new keeper all summer following the end of Dean Henderson’s successful loan period last season.

Shrewsbury boss John Askey has been looking to bring in a new No.1 keeper to fill the void left by Henderson’s departure and he is hoping to bring Coleman to the club.

Coleman is highly-regarded at Huddersfield having joined the club from Oldham Athletic in the summer of 2016.

Huddersfield beat a host of clubs to Coleman’s signature from Oldham with the youngster making 43 appearances during his time with the Latics.

Coleman made 10 appearances for Huddersfield during his debut season, keeping five clean sheets as the Terriers won promotion to the Premier League.

The 22-year-old saw his first-team chances limited last season following the arrival of Jonas Lossl, with his only four appearances coming in the cup competitions.

The summer arrival of Ben Hamer from Leicester City has further increased competition for places in the Huddersfield side and the club could consider loaning Coleman out so that he can valuable first-team action under his belt.

Shrewsbury are in talks with Huddersfield over a loan deal for Coleman and they hope to land the player in time for the start of the new season against Bradford on August 4th.
