Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney should re-sign a former Wrexham striker this summer who has just been released by a Premier League club.
Wrexham are poised for a busy summer of business as Phil Parkinson looks to assemble a squad capable of challenging for promotion.
Currently looking at which free agents are available, Parkinson is on the prowl for a new striker to partner Paul Mullin.
Wrexham currently have seven strikers at their disposal however, most of their options are either not good enough for League One or approaching the end of their careers.
The Reds may need to offload one or two, perhaps Sam Dalby and Billy Waters, before they can sign anyone.
There is, though, one former striker available who has just been released by a Premier League club.
Former Wrexham striker Kayden Jackson released by Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town achieved a fairy tale promotion to the Premier League after finishing second in the Championship.
The Tractor Boys’ success was masterminded by Kieran McKenna, who is unsurprisingly attracting the interest of some top sides.
Kayden Jackson was one striker who didn’t play as much as he would have liked in their promotion-winning campaign, starting just nine of his 29 appearances.
Jackson was often used as an impact sub in games, scoring from the bench in wins over Stoke City and Preston as he accumulated three goals and five assists in all competitions.
The “terrific” 30-year-old is currently looking for a new club after being released by Ipswich and that should put multiple Championship and League One clubs on red alert, including Wrexham.
Why Wrexham should consider signing Kayden Jackson
Jackson started his footballing career in Wrexham. He played 36 times in the 2015/16 National League campaign and scored four goals.
That return somehow landed him a permanent move to Barnsley in the summer of 2016, with the Tykes seeing some great potential in him.
Throughout his career, Jackson has shown glimpses of that potential, boasting the bundles of pace to strike fear into defenders and demonstrating a knack for fashioning scoring chances.
The Bradford-born forward is a player Parkinson should consider re-signing for various reasons. Although he’s not the most prolific, scoring 18 times in 108 appearances in League One, he could elevate Mullin to even greater heights.
With his electric pace and clever movement, Jackson could run into the channels and open up space for Mullin to prosper from dangerous positions.
He’d give Parkinson a bit of a different option to what he currently has. Ollie Palmer and Steven Fletcher normally play alongside the Liverpudlian, but they’re tall and physical strikers.
Jackson is the complete opposite however, his mobility and ability to craft chances for Mullin could make him worth capturing, especially on a free transfer.
