JUST a few of weeks after signing on a short term loan deal with Shrewsbury Town, former Harriers striker Kelvin Langmead has today signed permanent terms at Gay Meadow.

The youngster who made 10 apperances for Harriers earlier this season, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the League Two side, bringing to an end his time with former employers Preston North End.

"By signing Kelvin, it allows us to get another loan spot back and that helps in the future," Shrews boss Gary Peters told the club's official website.

"We felt we wanted Kelvin on our books, he's only 19 and with the form he's shown already I'm sure he will become a very good player."
