Ex-Premier League captain joins Wrexham football club for £2 million transfer fee
Wrexham Break Transfer Records with Seven High-Profile Signings
Welsh football club Wrexham have been making waves in the transfer market this summer, setting a new club-record twice in the process. The Red Dragons have been actively strengthening their squad, with seven new additions to their roster.
The latest arrival is Conor Coady, a centre-back who joins Wrexham from Leicester City in a deal worth around £2 million, subject to league approval. Coady, who began his career at Liverpool, brings a wealth of experience to the team, having played over 300 games for Wolves across an eight-year spell and captaining them in the top flight.
Coady's arrival follows his two-season stint at Leicester City, during which he made 43 appearances. The defender will reunite with Danny Ward at Wrexham, after their successful spells together at Leicester City.
Wrexham have also secured the services of Danny Ward on a free transfer from Leicester City. The goalkeeper's addition to the squad is a significant boost for the club, as they prepare for their maiden Championship campaign.
Another notable signing is Ryan Hardie, a striker who has joined Wrexham after George Thomason. Hardie, who arrived from Plymouth Argyle for £700,000, will provide a potent threat up front for the Red Dragons.
Wrexham have also bolstered their defence with the signing of Liberato Cacace from Serie A in a deal worth around £4m. The left-back will bring a new dimension to the Wrexham backline.
In midfield, Wrexham have added Josh Windass on a free transfer from Sheffield Wednesday, and Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed fee. Windass, an attacking midfielder, and O'Brien, a central midfielder, will provide valuable depth and versatility to the Wrexham midfield.
George Thomason, a central midfielder, has also joined Wrexham after arriving from Bolton Wanderers for over £1m. Thomason's arrival marks a significant investment by Wrexham in their midfield, as they look to compete at the highest level.
Wrexham have been working to bring in some experience in defence, with Coady being the player to provide that. The Red Dragons have been breaking records with their transfer spending over the last few years, and the arrival of Coady is a testament to their ambition.
The Red Dragons are also set to make another big-money signing, with Nathan Broadhead set to join the club for a whopping £7.5million. The deal is yet to be finalised, but if it goes through, it will be the club's most expensive signing to date.
With these seven high-profile signings, Wrexham are well-positioned to make a strong challenge in the Championship this season. The Red Dragons' fans can look forward to an exciting campaign ahead.
