Man Utd keeper Harrison joins Shrewsbury on loan
League Two club Shrewsbury Town have signed teenage goalkeeper Elyh Harrison on a season-long loan from Manchester United. The 19-year-old has featured for the Red Devils' under-21 side but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premier League club. He spent last season on loan at National League North side Chester, where he made 18 appearances. Shrewsbury director of football Micky Moore says the England Under-20 international has a "bright future" after monitoring his progress last season. "We think he's got all the right characteristics and that this could be a very good loan for him," Moore told the club website. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page

Prestatyn Running Club captain earns his first race victory
It came in the 3,000-metre race at the Trafford Open Track Meeting, in which he was seeded in the third race of the evening. His aim was to break nine minutes and 45 seconds, and he executed it perfectly, recording negative splits and crossing the line in first place in 9-41. On Saturday (July 19), Jonah took on a captain's role and agreed to help Matty Smith achieve his goal in the Nova parkrun. Again, things worked out well and Matty, who is making a rapid return to fitness, finished 10th in 19.49. Dafydd Montgomery was involved in a fascinating four-way battle and although he lost out in a sprint finish, he had the satisfaction of recording another PB. Erin Thomas and Eve Manifold made it 1-2 for the club's ladies, and the race also marked another step in a return to race fitness for supervet Roger Harrison-Jones. The Nova placings were: 4 Dafydd Montgomery 18.14 (pb), 5 Dave Ellis 18.52, 10 Matty Smith 19.49, 11 Jonah Armstrong 19.54, 13 Dean Longley 20.05, 21 Erin Thomas 21.17 (pb), 22 Darrell Jones 21.18, 26 Lewis Pierce 21.33, 28 Eve Manifold 21.49, 29 Judah Eastwell 22.06 (pb), 35 Paul Sanders 22.59, 50 Steve Weedman 24.22, 53 Neil Davidson 24.29, 77 Zack Webster 26.01, 107 Cathy Wood 28.36, 119 Casey Blake 29.22, 120 Andy Scott 29.23, 138 Debbie Weedman 31.02, 214 Steve Hatfield 38.37, 246 Roger Harrison-Jones 47.27, 247 Claudia Smith 47.39.
