Ryan Reynolds has now lost out on Luke Armstrong once more. During the summer, Luke Armstrong was just minutes away from joining Wrexham, but the move fell through at the last minute.
Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham have been dealt a huge blow ahead of the January transfer window.
Back in the summer, Wrexham had been minutes away from securing a deal with Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong – but the paperwork wasn’t completed before the 11pm deadline. Instead, Armstrong remained in North Yorkshire, where he has continued to impress. However, Reynolds and co won’t be able to move again for Armstrong, who looks set to leave Harrogate in two weeks. Armstrong has put pen-to-paper on a deal with Carlisle, making him their first signing under their new owners.
Wrexham have been enjoying life back in the Football League, after they were promoted from the National League. They are currently third in the table – and only Stockport and Barrow are ahead of them in the table.
However, they will have to push for promotion without the services of Armstrong, and a statement read: “Harrogate Town, Carlisle United and Luke Armstrong can each confirm they have all reached and completed an agreement for a permanent transfer on 1 January 2024.
“Having already successfully completed his medical at Brunton Park, Luke will now leave Town with immediate effect to begin training with United, pending the opening of the transfer window and transfer of his registration.”
Armstrong leaves with Harrogate hovering precariously above the drop zone, with the Sulphites currently 16th in the table. Simon Weaver’s side have been punching above their weight in the big leagues ever since they earned promotion for the first-time ever during covid.
