Wrexham said an emotional goodbye to Ollie Palmer on Friday, as the striker completed a move to League Two side Swindon Town.
The story of Wrexham’s summer has been one of incredible spending, as Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds backed Phil Parkinson handsomely.
Wrexham have landed 13 new signings this summer, spending around £30million on fresh additions.
Parkinson has completely revolutionised his Wrexham squad, but that has brought some difficult goodbyes.
Paul Mullin has joined Wigan Athletic on loan and is likely to have played his final game for Wrexham as a result.
Ollie Palmer has now signed for Swindon Town, completing a permanent move away from Wrexham after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.
