In only his second season of senior football, Ian showed much more confidence for Shrewsbury Town in 2000-01 and shared goalkeeping duties with the veteran Paul Edwards.
Very quick off his line and with a powerful kick, he became the Shrews' first choice keeper in 2001-02 following Edwards release.
Ian's contract at Accrington Stanley was extended to June 2008 in May 2007, to June 2009 in July 2008, June 2013 in May 2012 and to June 2015 in May 2013 before it was cancelled in July 2014.
