Wrexham AFC has bolstered their defensive lineup by signing centre-back Conor Coady from Leicester City for a reported fee of around £2 million. The experienced 32-year-old England international has committed to a two-year deal with the club, which includes an option for an additional year.
This move marks a significant step for Wrexham as they gear up for their first season in the EFL Championship in 43 years. The club’s recent transfer activity highlights their determination to make a strong impact in the league. Earlier in the summer, Wrexham broke their transfer record twice, first by acquiring left-back Liberato Cacace from Empoli, followed by the signing of midfielder Lewis O’Brien from Nottingham Forest.
Wrexham’s ambition doesn’t stop with Coady. The club is reportedly in negotiations for a £7.5 million transfer of Ipswich Town forward Nathan Broadhead and aims to add another Wales international, striker Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United.
These signings reflect Wrexham’s commitment to building a competitive squad as they transition into the Championship, showcasing their readiness to not only participate but to contend at higher levels in English football. The support from ownership and their proactive approach in the transfer market bodes well for the club’s future and aspirations.
