CONTRACT NEWS | James McClean signs new Wrexham AFC contract CONTRACT NEWS | James McClean signs new Wrexham AFC contract

Wrexham extends McClean through next season.

I thought he might be moving on after this season, given the Cacace signing, so I'm glad to see he'll be sticking with the club, at least for the time being.

In the first of what will inevitably be several departures in the coming weeks, Wrexham have loaned Mo Faal to Port Vale for the 25/26 season.

Get those minutes, Mo!

Excellent news! The Rock will continue to be Wrexham Women’s home for years to come, with facility improvements already planned.

Wrexham have signed striker Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United for a fee of Β£3.47M. The Athletic's Richard Sutcliffe reports that Wrexham are still pursuing Nathan Broadhead in what's thought to be a record-shattering Β£7.5m transfer.

Awkward hop off of Scarr leads to an easy goal (albeit odd) goal for Groningen. 2-1.

It's been a mix of impressive play against an Eredivisie side....and some costly mistakes.

In case you're wondering, Mullin is a substitute in Wigan's first game of the season. Kickoff in 30min.

Annnnd we're all tied up. Goal from Windass (I have a feeling we're going get used to saying that pretty quickly). 1-1

The hosts score off an errant pass from Hardie. 1-0

On a positive note, O'Brien has been really impressive in midfield so far.

Conor Coady has joined Wrexham on a two-year deal. He’ll almost certainly become a fixture of the back line.

Broadhead next?

Wrexham make approach to sign Christian Eriksen The 33-year-old has been without a club since leaving Manchester United following the expiration of his contract earlier this summer.

The centerpiece of Wrexham's midfield keeps changing rapidly this summer...and it may be set to change again.

What an incredible signing this would be.

Hearing from a variety of sources that the Lewis O’Brien deal is back on, with the midfielder set for a medical with Wrexham. Sounds like it’s progressing very quickly.

Interestingly, in the press release Wrexham and Windass himself mention his role as a midfielder, rather than as a striker, where he also has experience.

This says to me that the role Phil outlined for him is the attacking midfield role that Rodriguez occupied for the tail end of last year.

Ollie’s gonna be in a boot for at least the next two weeks, but the results of his MRI haven’t been made public (that I’ve seen, anyway). I’m thinking he’s out a minimum of four weeks once the season starts, buts a guess.

I have a feeling the signings may be fast and loose this week. First one in is George Thomason on a 3-year deal. The former Bolton captain will make for a crowded, competitive midfield picture.

That’s certainly true (best days behind him), but it was true of Fletcher too. I’m thinking he’ll have a similar, if not a bit greater of an impact at this level.

And hey, if we’ve got a handful of strikers all scoring…well, there are certainly worse problems to have

Exclusive: Josh Windass agrees personal terms with Wrexham Wrexham have agreed to terms with striker Josh Windass with a medical planned for Monday, GMS understands.

Sounds like Josh Windass is coming to Wrexham. GMS reporting a medical with Wrexham is scheduled for Monday.

He scored 13 times with 5 assists last season with Sheffield Wednesday.

Reports are surfacing that Wrexham are close to signing Bolton midfielder George Thomason. He will likely slot into the squad as midfield depth, at least initially.

It’s being widely-reported that Wrexham have set a new transfer record to acquire Liberato Cacace, the left-back for New Zealand’s national team.

He also plays as an attacking midfielder for Empoli in Series A.
