American-led consortium Biscayne ST LLC has completed its takeover of Shrewsbury Town, acquiring 87.4% of the League Two club. Former United States goalkeeper Brad Friedel becomes sporting director, while Scott Davidson assumes the chairmanship.

The acquisition ends Roland Wycherley’s 30-year period as owner and chairman. The new investor group includes Will Dotson and Craig Graham, with Bryan Finnerty joining subject to regulatory approval. Friedel will work with manager Gavin Cowan on sporting development. Shrewsbury currently sit 15th in League Two, two points outside the playoff positions, and the ownership change provides an opportunity to strengthen recruitment and infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Fresh ownership and investment could reshape Shrewsbury's recruitment strategy and long-term competitiveness after three decades under Wycherley.
