 Striker Neil Roberts return to Wrexham after six years away |
Wrexham have signed former striker Neil Roberts from Doncaster Rovers. Roberts, 28, had his contract ended by mutual consent at Doncaster and wasted little time in agreeing a move back to his home-town club.
Wrexham sold the Wales international to Wigan for �450,000 in 2000, before he moved on to Doncaster in 2004 after loan spells with Bradford and Hull.
"Once the opportunity arose to return, then I really wanted to grasp that chance," he told the club website.
"Everyone knows what the club means to me and my family, so I was not going to pass up this move.
"I have always kept in touch, so I know I will slot into the squad easily enough and I hope that I can play my part in lifting the club back up to at least League One."
Roberts' arrival at the Racecourse Ground is the latest in a clutch of home-grown talent returning to Wrexham.
Former Dragon Chris Llewellyn re-signed on Friday, while Wrexham-born defenders Ryan Valentine and Steve Evans have also joined.
Juan Ugarte, the Basque striker who quit Wrexham for Crewe last year but has been released, could also return as he is likely to train with the Dragons as he seeks to recover from injury.
