Wrexham landed three signings on transfer deadline day, but Phil Parkinson has now managed to land another new recruit.
Deadline day proved to be a busy one for Wrexham.
Phil Parkinson brought in three new faces on deadline day, as Ben Sheaf, Issa Kabore and Dominic Hyam all arrived.
Wrexham brought in 13 signings over the course of the summer window, outspending Barcelona in the process.
Jacob Mendy followed Thomas O’Connor to Peterborough United, while George Evans joined Burton Albion before the deadline.
Monday night appeared to bring an end to Wrexham’s transfer spree, but Parkinson has still managed to bring in one new face.
Wrexham sign goalkeeper Reuben Egan
Wrexham have now confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Reuben Egan on a six-month contract.
Egan has been on trial with Wrexham this summer after leaving rivals Tranmere Rovers on a free transfer, which means he can move outside of the transfer window.
The Irish stopper has previously been with Limerick, Galway United and Athlone Town.
Egan joined Tranmere Rovers last summer, but failed to make a first-team appearance last season.
Tranmere let the 20-year-old leave over the summer, and Wrexham have taken a close look at him as a potential signing.
Wrexham have now struck a deal, leaving Egan excited about his opportunity to shine at the STōK Cae Ras.
Speaking on Wrexham’s official website, Egan admitted his belief that Wrexham is the ‘ideal place’ for him to develop.
Egan marvelled at Wrexham’s ‘record-breaking’ success in recent years, and he is looking forward to learning from Wrexham’s senior goalkeepers.
“It’s a really good Club to be at. The way it’s been the last couple of years, it’s an ideal place to be for a young player like myself,” said Egan.
“The trajectory of the Club is record-breaking, it’s amazing, it just makes it an ideal place to come and grow as a player. I’m still quite early in my career, I still have a lot to learn, but I have some great lads to learn from here – it’s a great group to be in as a young goalie and I’m really looking forward to getting to work,” he added.
Phil Parkinson on Reuben Egan joining Wrexham
Wrexham released three goalkeepers over the summer, allowing Brad Foster, Liam Hall and Mark Howard to leave the club.
Luke McNicholas joined Forest Green Rovers, though Danny Ward arrived to compete with Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton.
Ward is now facing a spell on the sidelines, and Wrexham have moved to add extra cover between the sticks by signing Egan.
Boss Parkinson has told Wrexham’s official website that he has been looking to sign an Under-21 goalkeeper this summer.
Egan has ticked the boxes, leaving Parkinson excited to welcome him into the Wrexham squad.
“We’d like to welcome Reuben to the Club. We’ve been looking for a goalkeeper in the U21 age bracket, and we’re looking forward to him joining us,” said Parkinson.
Egan has only signed a short-term contract with Wrexham, but will look to impress enough to earn an extension until the end of the season.
