Wrexham brings in former England international
Wrexham has confirmed the signing of seasoned defender Conor Coady from Leicester City as it aims to boost its chances of success in the EFL Championship.
The 32-year-old has agreed to a two-year contract at the Red Dragons, keeping him at the Welsh club until the end of the 2026-2027 season, with an option to extend for an additional campaign.
Coady brings with him a formidable record of 485 senior matches, including nearly 200 Premier League appearances, as well as 10 caps for England.
This signing is part of a busy recruitment drive as Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, prepare for its Championship campaign after achieving three consecutive promotions. Coady is the club’s seventh new signing this summer.
The former Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton man will be seeking to boost Wrexham’s chances in the Championship, in what will be the club’s first season back in the second tier since the 1981-1982 season.
"I'm over the moon. It's a special day, I'll be honest," Coady said.
"We've all seen what the club has done over the past few years and for me to join is really special, and I can't wait to meet the boys and get started."
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "We’re delighted to welcome Conor to the club. He’s a player who has experience in the Premier League and Championship and will be a great addition to the squad."
Coady could be poised to make his Wrexham debut away at Southampton on the opening day of the Championship season.
