Shaun Whalley of Shrewsbury Town celebrates after scoring a goal to make it 3-0.

The 34-year-old made 257 appearances for Salop, scoring 39 goals across seven seasons.

Whalley has previously played for Stanley between 2006 and 2008 and went on to play for Wrexham, Southport and Luton before his move to Shropshire in 2015.

"I'm delighted to be back, I obviously played for Accrington a long time ago, but it's good to be back," said the veteran winger.

Shrewsbury Town fans hold up a sign saying, thank you Shaun Whalley.

"Hopefully I can add my ability to the group and we can kick on this season.

"I will try my hardest in every single game, every training session, and I'll be as dedicated off the pitch as I am on it."

Whalley will not have to wait long for his return to the Montgomery Waters Meadow with Stanley set to visit Steve Cotterill's men for their home opener on August 6.
