In January, Wrexham brought in two new players, but they were unable to complete a club-record deal to bolster Phil Parkinson’s team. Although Wrexham needed to add players in the winter transfer window, the two signings were made extremely late in the day.
With Luke Bolton joining from League Two rival Salford City, Phil Parkinson pounced to acquire a new right wing back. Also arriving was striker Jack Marriott, who had dropped down from League One side Fleetwood Town to League Two.
As Fleetwood gets ready for life in League Two after being relegated, Marriott finds himself back in League One after winning promotion with Wrexham. Despite not being able to lock down starting positions before the season finished, Bolton and Marriott contributed to Wrexham’s second-place result. While the focus is still on the summer window, Wrexham might be tempted to take another look at a target that escaped the radar in January.
