The Australian played 10 times for City towards the end of last season before being released at the end of his contract.

The 34-year-old left-back now has the chance to impress Shrewsbury manager Kevin Ratcliffe over pre-season.

Ratcliffe said: "He's coming down to train with us and play in the couple of games.
"He's an experienced player who has played at a higher level. He's good on the ball and a very good defender.
"It's still all about looking at options at this stage of pre-season, and Jason could offer us a few options. We'll see how it goes over the next couple of days and take it from there."
