Wrexham AFC have significantly strengthened their squad ahead of their return to League One. Defensive reinforcements have arrived in the form of Dan Scarr (Plymouth Argyle), Lewis Brunt (Leicester City), and Sebastian Revan (Aston Villa).
Midfield has been bolstered with the addition of George Dobson, who joins from Charlton Athletic. The former Addicks captain could make his competitive debut for the Red Dragons on Saturday.
