Wrexham have confirmed their club record signing of striker Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town.
Broadhead has signed a four-year deal and returns to the club where he made his early career steps as an academy player.
He is the ninth toy signed in an open-walleted summer for the Welsh side, who want to make a serious impression in the Championship after three consecutive promotions.
They had already added Premier League experience in Conor Coady, Kieffer Moore, Danny Ward, and Lewis O’Brien, who was their previous record signing.
And now they have bolstered their frontline with Broadhead in a deal worth an initial £7.5million, with £2.5m in add-ons, according to ESPN.
Broadhead won consecutive promotions with Ipswich and also helped Sunderland out of League One in 2021-22.
He said: ‘It’s been a long time coming and I’m delighted to join the Club.
‘Belief is going to be the biggest thing for us this season. We want to get everyone from North Wales down to the STōK Cae Ras and to show that belief in us.’
Manager Phil Parkinson said: ‘I’m delighted to welcome Nathan to the Club, he’s a local boy who had a real desire to come and play for his hometown Club.
‘We’re all looking forward to working with him in the coming seasons.’
