Jacko Given Three Games To Prove Himself

The 40-year-old will take caretaker charge for upcoming matches against , and leaders following the resignation of Shrews boss Graham Turner.

Turner, 66, led the Shrews to promotion from League Two in 2011-12 but stepped down after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to – their fifth loss in six games – left deep in relegation trouble.

Jackson, who joined the Shrews in 2008 before moving into coaching two years later, will get the chance to stake his claim, but not without a fight.
