Henderson gives helping hand to Shrews

After a 20-year absence, Shrewsbury Town are dreaming of a return to the English second tier - and the form of Dean Henderson suggests they have a good shot at getting there.

The Shrews are currently second in League One, with a 3-point advantage over Wigan Athletic in third. Currently with 21 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats, Paul Hurst´s team have been in the promotion mix from the start of the season, and Man Utd loanee Henderson has certainly played his part. 

The 21-year-old has excelled this season and on Saturday, against Walsall (2x0), he added another league shutout to his season's stats. In fact, the Red Devils youngster is top of the clean sheet stakes in the third tier: level with Blackburn´s David Raya on 13 this term.
