Shrewsbury have signed Alex Rodman on an 18-month deal following his release by League Two strugglers Notts County.
The League One club, 23rd in the table, have also brought in much-travelled Crystal Palace striker Freddie Ladapo on loan for the rest of the season.
The former Colchester United, Nuneaton, Kidderminster Harriers and Margate forward spent the first half of this season at Town's rivals Oldham.
He became the day's second signing after the arrival of winger Rodman, 29.
The addition of loan signing Ladapo, who scored twice in 17 league appearances for Oldham, and Rodman, for an undisclosed fee, follows Hartlepool defender Toto Nsiala's New Year's Day arrival.
