Wrexham have smashed their transfer record to sign Wales international Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town for a reported £10 million.

Broadhead, a versatile forward capable of playing across the forward line, has signed a four-year deal with the Welsh club, who he briefly played for in his academy days.

“It’s been a long time coming and I’m delighted to join the club,” Broadhead said.

“Belief is going to be the biggest thing for us this season. We want to get everyone from North Wales down to the Stok Cae Ras and to show that belief in us.”

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: “I’m delighted to welcome Nathan to the club. We’re all looking forward to working with him in the coming seasons.”

While the initial fee is likely to be some way short of the reported £10m figure, Broadhead’s arrival will have shattered Wrexham’s transfer record.

They have broken their transfer record on numerous occasions since Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took control of the club in 2021.

The previous high mark was believed to be in excess of £3m, which Wrexham paid to sign midfielder Lewis O’Brien from Nottingham Forest last month.

Broadhead is Wrexham’s ninth signing since they were promoted from League One last season.

The 27-year-old is not the only current Wales international to sign for Wrexham this summer, with Kieffer Moore and Danny Ward also making the move to the North Walian club this season.

Forwards Josh Windass and Ryan Hardie, defenders Conor Coady and Liberato Cacace and midfielders George Thomason and O’Brien have also made the switch, representing quite the overhaul for the club as they prepare for life in the Championship.

He has netted twice in 14 senior outings for Wales, with his first goal coming on debut against Croatia in 2023.
