Hours After Major Roster Update, Wrexham Agrees a Pre-Contract With Ex-Tottenham and A-League Champion Goalkeeper: Reports

After spending 15 years in the National League, Wrexham AFC has been promoted to the fourth division. They achieved their long-awaited promotion after winning the league title. It has been quite a turnaround season under the leadership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Both were desperate to clinch promotion to the fourth division and were looking to get to the top of the English pyramid system. However, the road to the Premier League is a pretty long one. Meanwhile, the team is now preparing for the upcoming 2023–24 season. And with that, they are already looking to bolster their squad. In fact, the process to do that has already begun.

Wrexham agrees to a pre-deal with A-League champion goalkeeper

Wrexham have set their sights on clinching another promotion in the EFL. Hence, in order to do that, the Welsh side has already begun taking tough calls after they recently released a list of 11 players who’ll be leaving the club. However, that also allowed them to bring in some reinforcements, and it seems they have already made their first signing of the season.

According to several reports, Melbourne City goalkeeper Tom Glover has verbally agreed to a pre-contract deal to join Wrexham. The 24-year-old is currently playing in the Australian League and has won domestic silverware with his side. The news became more real after a netizen tweeted proof of the transfer.

The fan shared a picture of Tom Glover’s Instagram following list, where the goalkeeper was already following a few Wrexham stars, including Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham AFC as well. This has raised eyebrows among fans, who are excited to see the first signing ahead of the new season.
