  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wrexham are in talks with Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward over a free transfer this summer, according to Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett. The 31-year-old will be a free agent once his contract with Leicester expires at the end of June and he is said to be in early negotiations with the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ward played a reserve role for Leicester as they were relegated back to the Championship, with Mads Hermansen playing in 27 of their Premier League fixtures and Jakub Stolarczyk also favoured. The former Liverpool stopper came through the youth ranks at Wrexham but didn't make a first-team appearance before signing for the Reds in 2012.
