Wrexham have continued to strengthen the squad this summer ahead of the 2024/25 League One campaign.

With League One preparations underway Wrexham has continued their summer spending with goalkeeper Callum Burton and wing-back Sebastian Revan the latest additions at the Racecourse.

The Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have already sanctioned moves for Arthur Okonkwo, Lewis Brunt, and George Dobson this summer.

Burton will add quality in depth in the goalkeeping department with Luke McNicholas moving to Rochdale on loan.

Revan is a promising signing with vital Championship experience with Rotherham Town last campaign.

The former Aston Villa academy star is an exciting prospect at only 21 years old with the ability to compete for a starting place under Phil Parkinson.

The wing-back will be looking to impress on the coming tour competing against Jacob Mendy and James McClean to be first-choice.

Wrexham summer signing Sebastian Revan reveals his playing-style

Revan, 21, is a promising youngster who is primarily a left-back but is comfortable in playing other positions.

Ahead of his loan move to Rotherham last season, the former Aston Villa academy star described his playing profile.

Previously speaking to the Rotherham Advertiser, he said: “I’m a left-back who can play anywhere across the back four.

“I can play midfield too. I love to defend and I hope I can add attacking play also. I want to get a lot of one-v-ones, crosses, goals, and assists.”

The youngster’s versatility will be a strong asset for Parkinson heading into the 2024/25 League One season.

How will Sebastian Revan fit into Wrexham squad under Phil Parkinson

The former Premier League youngster will most likely feature as a left-wing back competing against Mendy and McClean for a starting role.

The 21-year-old is a versatile player but possesses the perfect attributes to be a flying wing-back in Parkinson’s system.

With Ryan Barnett on the right wing, Revan will be able to provide creativity and dangerous attacks on the left with his skill and enthusiasm to beat his opposing defender.

Mendy is similar in going forward but has suffered several injuries affecting his form. With McClean hitting the twilight years of his career, the former Rotherham loanee provides a strong option for the Wrexham boss.

Similarly to summer signing Lewis Brunt, Revan can be considered a quality signing for the current squad, but be a solid foundation to build on in the future.
