Former Huddersfield Town striker Lee Novak is in advanced talks to join Shrewsbury Town.
The 27-year-old Geordie is out of contract at Birmingham City and available for a free.
Novak spent this season on loan to the Shrews’ League I rivals Chesterfield, scoring 15 goals.
He joined Birmingham three years ago after rejecting a new Town contract and has netted 12 times for the second-city club.
His move to St Andrew’s meant a reunion with Lee Clark, the manager who brought him to Town from Gateshead in a £150,000 deal in January 2009.
After being loaned back to the non-league club for the remainder of that season, he moved to the John Smith’ Stadium for the 2009-10 campaign.

Ex-Gretna and Newcastle Blue Star player Novak notched 42 goals in 172 games, helping Town win promotion through the League I play-offs in 2012.
