Wrexham enjoyed a strong summer transfer window as Phil Parkinson struck a number of deals to bolster his squad.
Promotion from League Two meant Wrexham had achieved the rare feat of back-to-back promotions.
Wrexham have moved up from the National League in rapid fashion and that left Phil Parkinson with work to do.
Dependable players who had helped Wrexham move up the leagues were let go as Ben Tozer and Luke Young moved on.
Wrexham had to go and bring in important signings and a total summer spend of almost £2million certainly made waves.
Wrexham paid up for the likes of Sebastian Revan, Lewis Brunt, Dan Scarr, Ollie Rathbone and Modou Faal in a busy summer.
Three free agents joined too as Arthur Okonkwo, Callum Burton and George Dobson arrived.
How agents feel about dealing with Wrexham
Wrexham have even completed one signing outside of the transfer window.
Midfielder Josh Adam has joined Wrexham on a free transfer following a successful trial spell with the club.
Adam was let go by Manchester City at the end of last season and Wrexham have snapped him up.
The Daily Mail now claim that agents and sporting directors across the game have ‘praised’ Wrexham for the club’s professionalism in the transfer market.
It’s suggested that the way Wrexham conduct negotiations has impressed agents and directors alike.
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have backed the club brilliantly in recent years but you need more than just money to succeed.
Getting the right people in the right jobs is paramount too and conducing business in the right way is important too.
That certainly helps Wrexham’s profile and reputation around the transfer market and may lead agents to feel more inclined to deal with the club in the future.
Who is involved in Wrexham’s transfer business?
McElhenney and Reynolds have a lot on their respective plates but they are still involved in the Wrexham transfer process.
Both have been known to send messages welcoming new signings to the club and personal touch certainly helps.
Shaun Harvey serves as Wrexham’s chief executive and he is vital to the Wrexham operation.
Harvey has been around the Football League for the best part of 20 years and will have gained contacts along the way.
Parkinson knows his way around the market too whilst head of recruitment Chris Johnson is the real talent spotter.
Johnson served as a scout under Parkinson at Bolton Wanderers and has helped bring some key players to the STōK Cae Ras.
Wrexham are a well-oiled machine off the pitch and it seems that the current approach to transfers is working for everybody.
