Busy summer at SToK RacecourseParkinson has bolstered his ranksHollywood co-owners funded dealsGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

The Red Dragons have enjoyed another busy summer, with Mo Faal becoming the latest addition to Phil Parkinson’s squad. He joins the likes of Arthur Okonkwo, Lewis Brunt, George Dobson and Ollie Rathbone in moving to SToK Racecourse since Wrexham secured promotion into League One.

Each deal completed by the ambitious Welsh outfit has been accompanied by a joke contract that includes fake terms, with said document printed out on social media. Eagle-eyed supporters quickly spotted that new recruits were being lined up for some bizarre tasks.

DID YOU KNOW?

That theme has continued with Faal, as his new contract includes the following stipulation: “The player should visit the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct at least twice a day.” Wrexham add that their new recruit “must be 6ft 5in.” They then state that “the player will start writing these contracts because we’re running out of jokes”.

WHAT NEXT?

Once the summer window closes, the Red Dragons will be unable to bolster their ranks again until January. That will give Reynolds, McElhenney and Co time to come up with some new jokes while focus is narrowed on another promotion bid – which will be caught on camera by the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary.
