Bright set for op
Posted on: Tue 15 Jun 2010

After yesterday's good news with Ian Sharps and Shane Cansdell-Sherriff agreeing deals at the club Town have been handed a new injury blow.

Striker Kris Bright will undergo surgery on his left shoulder on Saturday which will see him miss the start of the pre-season.Kris has had an ongoing problem during the season with his shoulder but the op was put on hold while Kris was on stand-by for the New Zealand World Cup squad.He is now booked to have the surgery which is expected to keep him out of action for around 6 weeks.

This will add to Town's injury worries in the forward line with Nathan Elder having undergone knee surgery recently.This operation was a success but Nathan isn't expected to be back into training until after the Christmas period.

Town manager Graham Turner will now be assessing his striking options.

Back in training...
SHREWS STRIKER STARTS LIGHT TRAINING

Shrewsbury Town striker Kris Bright has returned to light training with the first-team squad after a shoulder operation.

Bright, who underwent surgery to cure an ongoing shoulder problem this summer, is ahead of schedule with his recovery and is back on the training field quicker than expected.

Shrews boss Graham Turner told the club's official website: "Kris Bright has been able to return and join in with some of the training sessions which is a boost for him.

"He's still a way off from match fitness and the lads have been asked to take it easy with him but it is good news."

Shrewsbury Town's out-of-favour striker Kris Bright has left Greenhous Meadow by mutual consent with immediate effect.

The 24-year-old has made just one appearance this season and after talks with manager Graham Turner was allowed to leave the club.

Bright made a total of 27 appearances for the club since signing from Panserraikos FC in August 2009, 23 as a substitute, and scored two goals.

Would he be worth a go at the Phoenix, I wonder?

Reasonably mobile target man, and a kiwi.
 
Our Aussie strikers Kwasnik and Mac have not done to well.

But I like Big Mac, worked hard to get back into the side after his dropping early on and has a lot of passion for the club.

Based on half a season I wouldn't be opposed to keeping Mac and getting Bright if he was up to it and releasing Pavlovic but as the latter signed a two year extension I can't see it happening.

Honestly.  Why would we want to sign a injuried prone players who barely makes a living in the fourth tier of English football?
We are above that.

Wasn't Smeltz at a worse level, though not injury-prone?

Smeltz had one club where he had a great goal scoring record. Not sure that Bright has that. Who knows? Difficult to guess.

f**k me. He hasn't played one minute this season.  How on earth would that make it a good move?

Bright scored a fair few in Norway, albeit in the second division.  And I just checked, Smeltz was failing in the 5th tier of British football before the Wales game.

That's not to say Bright would be a good signing, but I wonder if taking a look would be a good idea.

Didn't look too bad in the promos. Cider is great. But the Isaacs Pear Cider not that good. Well It's ok, just not much different from the regular apple cider.

I wouln't mind him trialling at least if he wanted to. Dmac, Pav, Greenie...Does Bright have pace? and a nose for goal?

NO thanks in respect to the Nix.  He was tripe at the Knights if you all remember.
