The 2005-06 campaign delivered a solid season of consolidation for Shrewsbury Town as Salop secured a respectable 10th-place finish in League Two, a vital achievement a year after their return to the Football League. Leading the charge was new signing Colin McMenamin, whose 10 league goals spearheaded an attack that was built on a strong home record. Notably, this campaign also marked the emergence of future England star Joe Hart, who played every minute in goal for the club.
