Wrexham have let a number of players leave the club this summer, several of whom remain without a club.

After 2024/25 came to a close, Wrexham released eight senior players on free transfers.

Steven Fletcher was forced out despite making it clear it was not his choice to depart.

Fletcher has commented on his future this week as he remains without a team going into the new campaign.

Meanwhile, Jordan Davies sent a message to Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac after Phil Parkinson opted to let his contract run down.

Former Wrexham player joins PFA 42-man squad

Parkinson makes the final decision regarding player contracts, as was made clear this month when Mac revealed he found out one of his favourite Wrexham players was leaving when he checked social media.

Now, one recently released Red Dragons star is going to play two friendly fixtures this week in a bid to build fitness and find a new club.

The PFA announced a 42-man pre-season squad this week, with two matches set to be played out.

It allows free agents around the UK to gain some much-needed minutes and fitness as they continue to search for a new team.

And former Wrexham star Davies, who left in May, is included in the squad for matches against Watford U21s and Hednesford.

Wrexham players find new clubs

While Davies is yet to secure a transfer, plenty of now ex-Wrexham players have signed deals in the last couple of months.

Mark Howard has joined Salford City after he decided to leave the Dragons in May.

Brad Foster, who arrived as goalkeeper cover midway through 2024/25, has moved to Ross County.

Meanwhile, Luke McNicholas, Will Boyle and Luke Bolton have secured permanent transfers away from Wrexham, and Paul Mullin has been sent out on loan.
