"I want to play as much football as I can, stay in the team and help Tranmere get into the Play Off positions. Then we'll see where we can go from there."
Meanwhile Ronnie Moore earlier today showed how delighted he was to have Shotton back telling Tranmere Rovers Official Website:
"I'm delighted to bring Ryan back to the Club. He performed excellently for us in his three months here earlier in the season and hopefully he will continue to improve with us."
"He's a big, strong defender who likes to get forward, and as we have already seen he is more than capable of scoring goals."
