Wrexham AFC is set to make a significant addition to their squad by signing experienced centre-back Conor Coady from Leicester City. The deal, reportedly worth around £2 million, marks another bold statement from the club as they gear up for their first season back in the Championship after 43 years.

Coady, a seasoned defender with 198 Premier League appearances, brings a wealth of experience to Wrexham. He previously captained Wolverhampton Wanderers during their successful runs in the Premier League and the Europa League. Additionally, Coady has earned 10 caps for England, featuring in both Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.

This move is part of Wrexham’s aggressive transfer strategy this summer. The club has already broken its transfer record twice, first with the signing of Liberato Cacace from Empoli and then with Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest. They are also in advanced talks to secure Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town for a staggering £7.5 million, and are pursuing Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United.

Coady’s arrival is expected to bolster Wrexham’s defense significantly as they aim to compete in the Championship. His leadership and experience will be invaluable for a team looking to establish itself in the second tier of English football.

With 12 months remaining on his Leicester contract, Coady’s move to Wrexham highlights the club’s growing ambition and their commitment to building a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
