League Two transfer latest: Wrexham complete signing and keen on Wigan man, Swindon set to sell player and more
FLW rounds up the latest transfer news from the fourth tier of English football
There is now just over one week to go for English clubs to strike their transfer deals, and it’s likely going to be a frantic end to the January transfer window for many clubs.
Let’s take a look at the latest done deals and speculation surrounding the fourth tier of English football as League Two sides look to strengthen their hands for the remaining months of the 2023-24 campaign.
Wrexham complete goalkeeper deal and want Wigan striker
Wrexham – the big-hitters of League Two with their Hollywood money – have kept their powder dry for much of January, but Phil Parkinson now looks like he is making moves in the window.
And the Red Dragons have now completed the permanent signing of Irish goalkeeper Luke McNicholas from Sligo Rovers, having loaned him in for the first half of the campaign.
The 24-year-old has only played in EFL Trophy matches due to the form of Arsenal loanee Arthur Okonkwo and Mark Howard being ahead of him in the pecking order too, but McNicholas will now be hoping to push that duo a bit harder now he is a permanent Wrexham player.
It is evident as well that Parkinson would like to add another attacker to the club’s ranks, with interest in Peterborough’s Jonson Clarke-Harris cooled in recent weeks.
According to TEAMtalk though, Wrexham have made an offer for Wigan Athletic forward Stephen Humphrys as the North Wales outfit look to pounce on a player that has less than six months remaining on his contract with the Latics
Humphrys, 26, has seven goals and three assists notched in League One this season, but Wrexham will attempt to bring the striker to North Wales, much like they did with James McClean in the summer.
