Cyprus monitoring Shrewsbury Town defender

Shrewsbury Town chief executive Matt Williams has indicated that defender Mickey Demetriou could be in line for a call-up to the Cyprus senior squad.

Demetriou has previously represented the England C non-League side, but that is unlikely to be an obstacle should he be given the opportunity to play for Cyprus, for whom he qualifies to play through his grandfather.

Williams is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "The Cyprus FA are investigating his eligibility to play. They've monitored his progress. They were very impressed with him in our League Cup game with Chelsea."

The 24-year-old has made 17 appearances for the League Two side this season.
