"Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac sanctioned a summer net spend of more than 30m as Wrexham overhauled their squad to give themselves the best possible chance of being competitive in the second tier. The options Phil Parkinson has at his disposal are continuing to improve too as players return from injury, meaning such an outlay is not needed in the winter window."
"Having been omitted from Wrexham's 25-man squad in the opening half of the season, Jay Rodriguez has fully recovered from an ankle injury. The striker has made five substitute appearances since Christmas and scored in the penalty shootout as the Red Dragons dumped Premier League Nottingham Forest out of the FA Cup. He re-joined a striker department that saw Sam Smith step up admirably in the absence of fit-again Kieffer Moore in the new year."
More than half of the January transfer window has passed with Wrexham yet to add to their squad, focusing on streamlining after 13 summer signings. Two permanent exits have been completed so far in 2026: Jake Bickerstaff to Cheltenham Town and James McClean to Derry City. Several key players are returning from injury, including Jay Rodriguez, Andy Cannon, Danny Ward, Lewis Brunt, Aaron James, Issa Kabore and Liberato Cacace, reducing the need for winter recruitment. The club spent over 30m in summer to strengthen for the Championship, and departures currently appear to be the priority ahead of the deadline.
