Our View
Giles will add pace and youth to Ricketts squad and could be a terrific signing for the Shrews.
It is good to see Ricketts using his links with the Premier League club to good effect for Shrewsbury.
It looks like there may be competition to land the youngsters services, but geography and club links must put Salop in the driving seat if Wolves decide a loan move will aid the development of their talented star.
