Carl Winchester has no hard feelings about heading to Shrewsbury Town on loan with the Northern Ireland international hopeful of more game time. The former Forest Green Rovers captain has found game time hard to come by following the club's promotion back to the second tier.
The 29-year-old admitted it was the last role of the dice for him to play on the Championship following the League One play-off final win, a moment that he missed due to injury. The Belfast born utility player was not one to shy away from the pressure during his time on Wearside, but with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2023, it appears as though his time with the club has come to an end.
Speaking to Shrewsbury Town's official website, he said: "It was unbelievable. If you’d have told me when I was at Forest Green that I would go to Sunderland and be part of a promotion-winning team I wouldn’t have believed you.
