A number of players left Wrexham this summer, some of whom are faring better than others.
The most notable exit from the Racecourse Ground this summer was Paul Mullin leaving for Wigan Athletic.
Mullin made his competitive debut for the Latics over the weekend, coming off the bench in a 3-1 win over Northampton Town.
The Wrexham loanee missed a big chance late in the game, which his new manager has commented on.
Elsewhere, another striker has departed the Racecourse Ground after snubbing Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.
Sam Dalby blow after leaving Wrexham
In the 2025 winter transfer window, Sam Dalby was offered a new Wrexham contract.
However, while impressing on loan with Dundee United, the forward turned down the deal and was released in June when his last deal expired.
Dalby has now joined Bolton Wanderers, who kicked off their League One campaign this past Sunday.
Bolton faced off with Wrexham’s old rivals Stockport County, losing 2-0 to one of the promotion favourites.
Dalby was injured in pre-season, but an update from manager Steven Schumacher at the time said he’d be back in time for the proper campaign.
However, the former Wrexham man was once again missing on Sunday, and Schumacher has now confirmed that the number 10 is still a couple of weeks away from returning, as per The Bolton News.
He said: “Sam Dalby isn’t too far away so that gives us time to go, we don’t need to rush because he’s going to be here in a couple of weeks”.

Sam Dalby explains why he left Wrexham
The 25-year-old made 88 appearances and scored 13 goals during his time with the Red Dragons.
He bettered that return in just one season at Dundee United, netting 15 in the SPL.
After deciding against signing a new deal, Dalby explained why he was leaving Wrexham, pointing toward his lack of starts.
“I had played a lot of games over the previous two seasons – but I was usually only coming on with five minutes to play. Especially as a striker, that’s not enough. I needed a run of games.
“Thankfully, I’ve had that this season, and I can tell from the way I play now – even compared to the start of the season – that I have improved dramatically.
“That’s something I always thought I could do and, credit to him, I think the gaffer [Jim Goodwin] saw that potential in me from watching me at Wrexham. That’s why he brought me in.
“He wanted to invest in me because he believed in me, and I am very thankful because that belief has helped me massively. I have had a great season because of it.”
