## Summary

A consortium led by US investor Scott Davidson has completed its takeover of Shrewsbury Town, bringing a new ownership team to the League Two club. Former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel will become sporting director as the group seeks to build on its previous success at Scottish club the Spartans.

Biscayne ST LLC, which controls the consortium, has overseen the Spartans’ rise from the Lowland League to Scottish League Two since 2021. Friedel, 55, played for Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham; the takeover ends Roland Wycherley’s 30-year spell as owner and chairman. Shrewsbury are 15th in League Two, and Wycherley said new investment could support the club’s foundation and academy.
