BREAKING: Wrexham AFC Are in talks to finalize the signing of Stoke City Free agent striker after the star agreed to a 3-year contract this morning due to….
Wrexham tried and failed to sign a number of players during the 2025 January transfer window.
Amid the likes of Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin struggling for goals, Wrexham were in the market for a new centre-forward over the winter.
They eventually broke their transfer record to sign Sam Smith who was followed swiftly through the door by Jay Rodriguez of Burnley.
Prior to the duo arriving in late January, however, the Red Dragons were linked with moves for a number of other strikers.
Patrick Bamford was tipped to join Wrexham but in reality, his wage and potential transfer fee meant that deal was always unlikely.
More realistically, however, we revealed that Joe Gelhardt was an option for the Welsh side last month.
No move came to pass and he instead opted to link up with Championship outfit Hull City for the remainder of the campaign.

Hull City fans in agreement about Wrexham target Joe Gelhardt
However, the Wrexham transfer target has had a pretty mixed stint in Yorkshire and Hull fans have had a lot to say about him.
The Tigers lost to Cardiff City on Tuesday evening and are in serious danger of being relegated. Following that defeat, fans have questioned Gelhardt’s ability with many suggesting he needs a change of position.
One fan wrote: “Absolutely dreadful from #hcafc tonight. Never gonna score all night. Selles got that wrong tonight, not enough fresh legs, Lincoln and Gelhardt miles off it. Alzate had to start too. Lose next week and I don’t see how we stay up.”
