He’s back! Shrewsbury Town are pleased to announce the return of Aristote Nsiala – with the defender putting pen to paper on a two-year deal at the Croud Meadow.
Toto’s return to Shropshire sees him reunited with boss Paul Hurst.
It means the gaffer has now signed the centre-back four times – with the duo having also worked together at Grimsby and Ipswich.
Paul said: “The fact I have signed Toto four times gives you an insight into what I think of him as a player and also as a character as well.
“We have got a really good relationship and I think myself and Chris (Doig) will be able to get the best out of him – as we have done previously.
“He obviously knows how we work and our expectations of him. I think that works for Toto.
“A lot of the fans will remember him from before – but for those who haven’t seen him, Toto is a very committed defender who will put his body on the line.
“He has good athleticism, he is brave and he is good one-v-one. He brings an aerial presence that every team needs and on top of that, he is vocal.
“By bringing him in we gain experience and leadership qualities.
“In his time here before, while it is a few years on, he was part of a fantastic team and group.
“I think the fact he was so keen to work with us again and also come back to this football club speaks volumes.
“I’m really looking forward to working with him and giving him responsibility within the squad.”
Toto sat down with the Shrewsbury Town media team earlier today to discuss his move to the Croud Meadow. That interview will be published on our club website on Sunday.
