Wrexham sign centre-back Coady from Leicester

Conor Coady has been signed by Wrexham from Leicester City for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £2 million.

The 32-year-old England defender has agreed to a two-year contract with the option to extend it.

Wrexham are gearing up for their first full-year return to the second tier after 43 years by signing Coady, another significant statement of intent.

This summer, they have already broken the club transfer record twice, first with Nottingham Forest’s Lewis O’Brien and then Empoli’s Liberato Cacace.

Wrexham are likely to win the game again with the signing of Wales and Ipswich Town forward Nathan Broadhead in the $7.5 million deal.

“Over the moon,” I said. I’ll be honest and say it’s a special day.

“We’ve all seen the club’s actions over the past few years, and for me to join is truly special, and I can’t wait to meet the boys and begin.”

Coady led the Wolves team that twice placed seventh and advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals. He has made 198 Premier League appearances.

He also played for England in the 2022 World Cup and the Euro 2020 games, earning 10 caps.
