Midfielder Jon Taylor says he will fight for his place at Shrewsbury after scoring twice in his first start, a 3-0 win over Burton on Tuesday.Shrews boss Graham Turner completed six new deals on transfer deadline day but the 21-year-old believes he can earn a regular starting role.
"If I keep performing then hopefully I won't give the gaffer a doubt about me," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"That means I've got to work even harder to play again."
Taylor was only told hours before kick-off that he was in the side to face Burton and he was delighted to end the game with a brace.
"I was nervous in the first half, so the goal really settled me down," he said. "It was a real dream to score - but then to get another one was unbelievable.
"It's a game I'll remember for the rest of my life."
The 5ft 4ins Liverpool-born midfielder added: "I was so excited I couldn't sleep for the next two nights."
Taylor was picked up by Wigan and worked his way up the junior ranks before switching to the youth system at Shrewsbury a couple of years ago.
"It's worked out for the best," he said. "A mate of mine at Wigan, who's 21, still hasn't made his debut but here I am in the first team dressing room at Shrewsbury."
