Wrexham might end the January transfer window in grand fashion by adding one more player to help them battle for promotion from League Two after a hectic month of incomings.
News about Wrexham transfers
Although Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ celebrity always helps, Wrexham’s business in the January transfer window is nonetheless noteworthy as they brought in Jake Marriott from Fleetwood Town, Luke Bolton from Salford, and Luke McNicholas from Sligo Rovers.
Marriott stated on the official Wrexham website, “I’m really pleased to be here and happy to get the deal over the line,” after signing a contract to join the team. I was really interested in joining the club because of their performances and team dynamic, and I’m thrilled to be here. The club’s direction is something I want to be a part of.
Phil Parkinson, the manager, continued, “We’re thrilled to have Jack join the Club. With shown expertise at an advanced level, he joins us with the intention of making a significant impact in the second part of the campaign.”
But the Welsh team might not be finished yet—they are apparently planning to add one more player. There is a great degree of excitement surrounding the completion of a club record transaction as Reynolds and McElhenney at Wrexham are reportedly “close” to signing Jamie Lindsay from Championship side Rotherham, according to Nathan Salt of The Daily Mail.
Landing the Championship midfielder in a deal that would again demonstrate the strength of Reynolds and McElhenney—rumored to be considerably over the previous record of £300,000 for Ollie Pope during the 2023 winter window—would be quite the coup for the League Two team.
“Terrific” Lindsay must relocate to Wrexham
Lindsay’s statistics indicate that his season has been frustrating thus far, to put it mildly. For Rotherham, the midfield player has only made 13 appearances across all competitions, with just 8 starts in the Championship. And a move to Wrexham at the age of 28 might come at the ideal time, particularly if it results in automatic promotion or possibly the League Two championship.
The midfielder was hailed as a “terrific servant” by co-managers Stuart Kettlewell and Steven Ferguson after he left Ross County to join Rotherham, according to BBC Sport. Currently, Wrexham stands to gain if they are able to close a deal throughout the remaining hours of the window.
With a game remaining and currently sitting second in League Two by one point and five points behind leaders Stockport, January may prove to be the pivotal month for Wrexham in their quest to win the league this season, particularly if Lindsay joins the Red Dragons from Rotherham.
