Wrexham have officially signed England international defender Conor Coady, the club announced on Friday.
Coady passed his medical at Wrexham on Friday and is set to join the Championship side on a deal worth in the region of £2 million ($2.6m), sources have confirmed to ESPN.
The 32-year-old told the club’s official website: “I’m over the moon. It’s a special day, I’ll be honest.
“We’ve all seen what the club has done over the past few years and for me to join is really special and I can’t wait to meet the boys and get started.”
The signing is a significant coup for Wrexham as they look to start their Championship campaign away at Southampton on Aug. 9.
Coady brings a wealth of experience to Wrexham having played for Wolves, Everton and Leicester in the Premier League.

He has 10 England caps and was part of their squad for both Euro 2020 and the World Cup in 2022.
Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson added: “We’re delighted to welcome Conor to the club. He’s a player who has experience in the Premier League and Championship and will be a great addition to the squad.”
The Welsh club are bidding for a fourth successive promotion under the joint-ownership of Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, who led them back to the English Football League in 2023.
Coady will become Wrexham’s seventh signing of the summer transfer window, following on from Lewis O’Brien (Nottingham Forest), Liberato Cacace (Empoli), George Thomason (Bolton), Ryan Hardie (Plymouth), Danny Ward (Leicester City) and Josh Windass (Sheffield Wednesday).
