Wrexham smash their transfer record! Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney sign Ipswich forward Nathan Broadhead in deal that could be worth £10m as Championship new boys eye fourth successive promotion

The Championship new boys have completed the signing of Wales international Broadhead, 27, who was in the last year of his contract at Ipswich. The BBC reports that while the initial fee is likely to be lower than £10m, it is believed that figure could be reached in the future.

Broadhead becomes Wrexham's ninth new arrival in what has been a busy summer window for Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who are co-chairmen of the club. One of those signings was Lewis O'Brien, who was previously the club's record transfer following his £3m move from Nottingham Forest in July.

The signing of Broadhead, who scored two goals in 18 Premier League appearances in 2024-25, will provide a major boost to the club's hopes of enjoying another successful campaign following last season's promotion from League One. While Ipswich, Southampton and Birmingham City have been widely tipped to compete for promotion to the Premier League in 2025-26, the arrival of Broadhead could see Wrexham's odds shorten with many bookmakers.

Wrexham host West Bromwich Albion in their first Championship match at home on Saturday, while promotion rivals Ipswich and Southampton lock horns at Portman Road on Sunday.
