Wrexham Adds Experience with Free Agent Signings of James and Bodvarsson
Wrexham AFC, fresh off a historic promotion back to the Football League, is bolstering their squad with two experienced free agents: Paul Mullin's former teammate Rekeem James and Icelandic international Jon Bodvarsson. These additions signal the club's ambition to compete in League Two and beyond.
Rekeem James: A Familiar Face Returns
Rekeem James, a forward who played alongside Paul Mullin at Cambridge United, joins Wrexham on a one-year deal. The 29-year-old brings a wealth of experience from his time in League One and Two, having scored over 50 goals in the English lower leagues. James's direct playing style and aerial threat make him a valuable asset in the attacking third, and his familiarity with Mullin's game could prove crucial in Wrexham's attacking strategy.
Jon Bodvarsson: A Proven Goalscorer
Jon Bodvarsson, a 33-year-old striker, joins Wrexham on a one-year contract after a successful stint in the Icelandic Premier League. He boasts an impressive goalscoring record, having netted over 100 goals in his career, including a spell in the Championship with Wolves. Bodvarsson's experience and proven goal-scoring ability are welcome additions to a Wrexham side looking to maintain their attacking prowess in a higher league.
A Strong Foundation for League Two
These signings solidify Wrexham's commitment to building a competitive squad for the upcoming season. The arrival of James and Bodvarsson adds depth and experience to the attacking line, complementing the existing talent of players like Mullin, Elliot Lee, and Jordan Davies.
With the recent promotion and the addition of these seasoned players, Wrexham fans have high expectations for the upcoming season. The club's ambitious approach, coupled with the dedicated fanbase and the iconic Hollywood ownership, sets the stage for an exciting chapter in Wrexham's history.
