Rival fans will often claim players only move to Wrexham for the money, but one summer signing has proven that is not the case.
Wrexham broke their transfer record several times in the most recent window, with a £7.5m deal for Nathan Broadhead now their record signing.
In total, 13 players moved to the Racecourse Ground with Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac allowing Phil Parkinson to spend £33m.
Kieffer Moore is Wrexham’s highest-paid player, taking home £30,000-a-week following a transfer from Sheffield United.
Elsewhere, Conor Coady is among the top earners, but his Wrexham salary pales in comparison to what he was reportedly netting at Leicester City.
How much Conor Coady was earning at Leicester City
Coady joined Wrexham in a £2m move from Leicester over the summer.
The centre-back has spent much of his career in the Premier League, including spells with the Foxes and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He is vastly experienced, and his leadership and insight should be crucial for Wrexham this term.
As expected, given that Leicester were a Premier League team last season, Coady’s wage was quite high.
The Telegraph have published a report on Thursday detailing the Foxes’ ongoing legal battles.
Within it, they say that before he joined Wrexham, Coady was taking home £70,000-a-week in wages.
In comparison, Capology reports that the Englishman is now on £25,000-a-week at Wrexham.
That means he has given up around £2.34m in wages over the course of 12 months.

Nobody on Wrexham’s books right now even comes close to matching that total across one year.
Moore nets just over £1.5m, while Jay Rodriguez and Coady are the only other players to take home seven figures.
