Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney backed Wrexham well in the last two transfer windows and one deal is finally coming good.
After winning promotion to the third tier of English football, Wrexham have not been shy about splashing the cash.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have dipped into their pockets on several occasions, allowing the Red Dragons to break their transfer record three times in less than a year.
Ollie Rathbone arrived from Rotherham United for a record fee before Modou Faaal surpassed him just a couple of weeks later.
In the most recent transfer window, meanwhile, Wrexham broke their transfer record for Sam Smith, who should hopefully put an end to their striker woes.
While most signings had an instant impact at the Racecourse Ground, a couple are, or were, on course to flop.
Dan Scarr finally coming good for Wrexham
Sebastian Revan has been poor for Wrexham, failing to offer the required attacking threat from the wing-back position.
If the Welsh outfit do get promoted this season, it’s hard to see the former Aston Villa man having much of a future at the club.
Dan Scarr, signed from Plymouth Argyle over the summer, was also on his way to becoming something of a transfer blunder.
Scarr has expressed frustration at his Wrexham playing time on a couple of occasions this term, seeing very few minutes in League One.
However, the stopper has been afforded a chance to prove his worth in the EFL Trophy this term, starting both of their recent meetings with Port Vale and Bolton Wanderers.
Scarr was ‘rusty’ for Wrexham against Birmingham City late last month but he improved a great deal against Bolton.

Dan Scarr form could see key Wrexham ace dropped
Transfermarkt reports Wrexham paid €352,000 (around £293,000) to pry Scarr away from Plymouth over the summer.
It looked like it could prove to be a waste of Rob and Ryan’s funds but now he’s improving in the cup, he should be given another chance in the league.
However, if Phil Parkinson does begin to hand him more regular minutes, it will likely see Eoghan O’Connell dropped.
Lewis Brunt and Max Cleworth have the left and right-sided centre-back roles locked down, with Scarr generally starting through the middle in O’Connell’s place during his limited outings to date.
The latter’s form has been mixed recently and he could now lose his spot for the long-term.
