Chelsea midfielder Charlie Colkett has joined League One outfit Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old is embarking on his fourth stint away from the Premier League club since coming through the ranks at Stamford Bridge.

Colkett has previously spent time on loan with Bristol Rovers and Swindon Town, as well as Dutch side Vitesse.

The former Charlton Athletic youngster has played for England at several different youth levels, but is yet to make his debut for the Chelsea first team.

Colkett becomes Shrewsbury's seventh signing of the summer as new manager John Askey puts the finishing touches to his side ahead of their season opener at home to Bradford City on August 4.
