Wrexham had already wrapped up five signings before Friday’s latest announcement.

The pair had been in the Aston Villa ranks together and have now been joined by a former Birmingham City youngster.

Phil Parkinson on more signings
Wrexham can be delighted with the summer business.
The goalkeeping position will be the envy of many League One clubs, possibly even some Championship clubs.
Wrexham have added depth across defence and now have a proven League One midfielder in Dobson.
The age profile of the Wrexham squad has come down too, so this summer looks like a success on paper.
Of course, Wrexham have to back that up with performances in League One but fans will certainly be encouraged.
There may even be scope for more signings though and Parkinson has now commented on further business.
Speaking to The Athletic, Parkinson admitted that the Wrexham squad is ‘getting there’ and a ‘couple’ of other deals are being worked on right now.
Parkinson did though add that the market has ‘become a bit distorted’ having encountered some ‘astronomical’ financial demands this summer.
Parkinson highlighted Birmingham City’s spending power but is happy with what Wrexham have managed to achieve this summer.
“The squad is getting there,” said Parkinson. “We are getting there. We are working on a couple of other things to add a bit more quality to what we have already got to make sure we can compete at this level.”
“There are obvious candidates in terms of who will be strong with the money that certain teams have spent. Like Birmingham, who’ve almost had the (spending) power of a lower Premier League club, never mind a Championship club. It’s a very competitive division. There’s more money because of the new (EFL) TV deal, so people have been spending. Some of the prices we’ve been quoted for players are astronomical.”
“The market has become a bit distorted, maybe because of Birmingham’s spending. But we’re pleased with the lads we’ve brought in and now it’s a case of, ‘Here we go again’. Let’s get ready for action,” he added.
