Wrexham are still in the market for new signings, even after bringing in eight new faces over the course of the summer transfer window.
Phil Parkinson has been a busy man this summer, with Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds backing the Wrexham boss with a raft of new signings.
Nathan Broadhead became Wrexham’s latest signing on Thursday, completing a club-record move from Ipswich Town.
The Welsh forward made his debut as a substitute against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, and almost scored in the second half.
Broadhead joins Ryan Hardie, Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, George Thomason, Josh Windass, Lewis O’Brien, Conor Coady and Kieffer Moore in arriving at the STōK Cae Ras this summer.
Nine signings represent some significant recruitment for Wrexham this summer, but Parkinson still wants further additions.

Wrexham may receive Pedro Lima boost
Wrexham are already well over the squad limit in the Championship, so a number of players need to move on before the transfer deadline.
Parkinson is still focused on incomings, though, and a right-sided wing-back could be on the radar as Ryan Longman and Ryan Barnett battle it out in that area of the pitch.
Speculation earlier this summer suggested that Wrexham are interested in signing Pedro Lima from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Brazilian talent needs first-team action, and Wrexham could take Lima on loan until next summer.
Wrexham will now be very interested to learn that Wolves are on the verge of signing another right wing-back – potentially freeing Lima up for a move to the STōK Cae Ras.
Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Wolves are set to sign Hellas Verona’s Jackson Tchatchoua in a €12.5million (£10.8million) deal.
The Cameroon international plays as a right-back or right wing-back, and his arrival at Molineux could pave the way for Lima to go.
Ki-Jana Hoever started as Wolves’ right wing-back against Manchester City on Saturday, with Lima not even named on the bench.
Tchatchoua’s arrival will surely lead to Lima’s temporary exit, with Wrexham potentially waiting for Wolves to wrap up their incoming business before striking a deal.

Wrexham target Pedro Lima profiled
Lima came through the ranks of Sport Recife in his native Brazil, making 26 first-team appearances before leaving in 2024.
The 19-year-old was set to join Chelsea, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, with the idea of placing him at partner club Strasbourg.
Wolves won the race, though, as the Daily Mail reported that they managed to complete an £8.5million hijack.
Lima may have chosen Wolves for a route to first-team football, but he managed just three first-team appearances last season.
A former Brazil Under-19 international, Lima now needs senior action, and that may come with Wrexham as Tchatchoua heads to Molineux.
