Shrewsbury Town manager Gary Peters has moved to strengthen his squad with the signing of three new players.
Guy Madjo has arrived from Crawley for £20,000, Keith Briggs has joined from Stockport, and ex-Derby youngster James Meredith has moved from Sligo.
Striker Madjo, 23, and midfielder Briggs, 26, both made their debuts in Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Hereford, with Briggs netting for the Shrews.
Peters is still looking to boost his side's firepower with another striker.
Madjo has scored goals in non-league football with Forest Green Rovers, Stafford Rangers and Crawley and recently enjoyed a loan spell with League One Cheltenham Town.
Briggs, whose last game for Stockport was against the Shrews on Boxing Day, has joined on a non-contract basis, while Meredith, who was released by the Rams at the end of last season, has agreed an 18-month contract.
Peters told BBC Radio Shropshire he was pleased to have the trio on board.
"Madjo's quick and strong with a lot of talent," Peters said.
"Briggs has been doing well in training for us, and we both want to see what he can do for us, while Meredith's a young player with great promise who can provide cover for Mark Tierney and Colin Murdock at the back."
Peters hinted Madjo will not be his only striker signing.
