Wrexham finished second in the fourth division this summer, earning the Red Dragons back-to-back promotions to League One.
With their aspirations high, Wrexham has rarely added players from lower leagues as they have risen through the ranks. Signings from one or two levels above have been common, which has helped them assemble a team that is capable of pulling off an incredible accomplishment like consecutive promotions.
Anticipate that to continue this summer as well, as the Racecourse is sure to be keeping an eye on some intriguing new additions.
Nevertheless, League Two boasts a few exceptional players who are more than capable of moving up. In light of that, Wrexham ought to consider bringing these three fourth-tier players to League One.
Salford City’s Elliott Watt
When his contract expires this summer, Watt has stated that he will be leaving Salford City, and a move up the leagues is undoubtedly in store.
For the past several seasons, the 24-year-old has been a standout in League Two, and this season was no exception with a goal and eight assists in 39 appearances. The 24-year-old is prepared for a promotion, and by joining Wrexham, he would be joining a team that shares his goals.
As Salford’s captain for the first half of the season, Watt has demonstrated his leadership qualities as well.
Will Evans, the County of Newport
Evans is becoming one of League Two’s most dangerous strikers, therefore it’s highly likely that he’ll find fans this summer. Additionally, as his contract is expiring, Wrexham may have an opportunity to outbid some higher league suitors for his signature.
The 26-year-old Welshman managed 25 goals in 55 games over the 2023/24 season and many would fancy him to give League One defenders headaches too.
Adding Evans to the frontline could make Wrexham’s attack even more feared.
Brad Hills – Accrington Stanley
Hills is only on loan at Accrington Stanley but a step up should certainly await the young centre-back.He starred in League Two in his first taste of senior football and the Norwich City prospect should be tested against a higher level of opposition when the new season comes around.
Wrexham don’t tend to make use of the loan market much but to manage yet another step up, it could be smart to pursue prospects like Hills to further bolster the ranks this summer.
