Sam Smith shares why Wrexham fans ‘shocked’ him as Reading were ‘bullied’ in 3-0 defeat.
Wrexham came into the January transfer window with Phil Parkinson seeking key additions for his promotion push.
Reports well in advance of January suggested that Wrexham wanted another striker to bolster Parkinson’s attacking options.
A number of names were linked and Wrexham ended up signing not one striker, but two.
Wrexham signed Sam Smith from Reading in a club-record deal, adding a proven League One goalscorer in the process.
Jay Rodriguez followed, joining from hometown club Burnley to bring another veteran presence to the Wrexham attack.
Sam Smith on Wrexham fans
Rodriguez and Smith impressed Wrexham fans as they started up front together against Crawley Town, just 24 hours after signing.
The Premier League and Championship experience of former England international Rodriguez has turned heads, but Wrexham have made quite the commitment in Smith.
A proven goalscorer at Cambridge United and Reading, Smith could be the difference between staying in League One and clinching promotion to the Championship.
Smith has now reflected on his move to Wrexham and was asked for his thoughts having played at the STōK Cae Ras earlier this season.
Wrexham beat Reading 3-0 in a superb performance back in August and left Smith impressed.
Speaking on Wrexham’s official YouTube channel, Smith highlighted that Reading were simply ‘bullied’ by Wrexham on the day.
