It looks as though one released Wrexham player is in no rush to return to the football pitch after departing the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham released eight players at the end of their contracts in June 2025.
- Steven Fletcher
- Mark Howard
- Josh Adam
- Jordan Davies
- Harry Dean
- Brad Foster
- Liam Hall
- Sam Dalby
Some of the names were expected, but a couple on the list did come as a bit of a surprise.
Among them was Steven Fletcher, who finished 2024/25 as Wrexham’s top-scoring striker in League One despite primarily being used off the bench.
In a social media post, Fletcher hinted he wanted to stay, saying at the time that he was leaving ‘not by choice’.
Now, the Scotsman is still without a club and has launched a new project away from football.
Former Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher launches new project
For those who follow the player on social media, they will be aware of his love for golf.
Since being released, Fletcher has been active on his golf-dedicated Instagram account, ‘s.f_golf’.
Now, the ex-Wrexham man has decided to launch a new project relating to the sport.
The project, which surely now means the player will not be returning to the pitch any time soon, will feature former Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka.
The duo have created a golf Instagram page with the handle, ‘flagzgolf’.
Golf-related content is becoming increasingly popular on social media and YouTube, and it looks as though the former players are going to give it a go themselves.

Has Steven Fletcher retired from football
The Scotsman is now 38 years of age, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see that he has, in fact, now ended his playing career.
In an interview this summer, Fletcher spoke about retirement, saying he was ’95 percent sure’ he was done playing football.
He said: “I’m going to go as far as to say I’ll give you an exclusive… I’m about 95 per cent sure that I’m done,” said Fletcher.
“I think so. There’s a wee five per cent of me just sitting there thinking ‘ehhh’. It would need to be something like, that gave me a wee bit of ‘ooh’ to get me to go back out.
“When you say it out loud, it’s like ‘ooh’, you think about it, you’re sitting in the house, you’ve maybe been watching the Club World Cup, and you’re thinking… do I really want to go back and do it? But when you actually say it out loud, I’m sitting there on the sofa myself, missus probably not even knowing that I’m sitting about that, but then when you actually have a look over and say it out loud to her, ‘I think that’s me done’, you get a weird feeling.”
