One Wrexham ace is likely to already be regretting his decision to move to the Racecourse Ground amid struggles for playing time.
Wrexham brought nine new first-team players to the club during the 2024 summer transfer window.
The majority of those additions have had an almost instant impact at the Racecourse Ground.
Sebastian Revan has been praised by Phil Parkinson after completing a move from Aston Villa this past summer.
Arthur Okonkwo has been backed to go to the ‘very top’ after he returned to Wales on a permanent basis from Premier League outfit Arsenal.
Another free transfer, George Dobson was backed to win Wrexham Player of the Season after instantly cementing himself as a key cog in Parkinson’s midfield.
However, at least one of the Red Dragons’ latest additions has so far struggled to make any sort of impact for the League One outfit and may be regretting his decision to join.

Lewis Brunt struggling for game time at Wrexham
Lewis Brunt joined Wrexham from Leicester City during the 2024 summer transfer window.
The centre-back only played four times for the Foxes’ senior side across all competitions and will have been hoping to see more game time after dropping down two divisions.
Brunt has been dubbed ‘exceptional’ previously but the Wrexham manager has seemingly not seen that side of him yet.
Despite Parkinson deploying a five-back formation, Brunt has only been able to garner 21 minutes of playing time in League One so far this season, which came in the 4-1 win over Northampton Town earlier in October.
He did start in the Carabao Cup defeat to Sheffield United and in the EFL Trophy but it is clear he is unlikely to see proper first-team action anytime soon, likely leading him to regret his move.

Why Lewis Brunt is unlikely to see regular Wrexham minutes anytime soon
When the 2024/25 campaign began, Parkinson opted to start his preferred centre-back trio of Max Cleworth, Thomas O’Connor and Eoghan O’Connell.
Said players were key to the club winning promotion in 2023/24 and started the current campaign in superb form.
Cleworth was then injured but it was another summer addition in Dan Scarr who stepped into the side to replace the Englishman.
Cleworth has been spotted back in training this week, suggesting a return to the starting eleven will come sooner rather than later.
So, with Wrexham keeping seven clean sheets in their last 12 games, Parkinson clearly not wanting to change his backline up too much and Scarr the current fourth choice option, it is hard to see when and where Brunt will earn any sort of meaningful minutes at the club.
