Veteran frontman Fletcher remains on the books at SToK Racecourse after signing a 12-month contract extension. His vast experience helped the Red Dragons to promotion out of League Two last season, with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rename-the-racecourse-ryan-reynolds-course-wrexham-backed-ride-promotion-wave-reality-his-playing-field-levels-league-one/blt6de4637a4d48ce43" target="_blank">meteoric rise under Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney</a> continuing.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wrexham are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/simple-step-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-find-value-jack-marriott-transfer-wrexham-striker-worldie-2024-25/bltf0a80bbe2a84c2d2" target="_blank">up and running in League One</a> and are now preparing for a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-battle-bramall-lane-carabao-cup-draw-reunites-sheffield-united-rent-free-jibe-rob-mcelhenney-stick-that-documentary-arse-billy-sharp/blt21af1c9a423d34df" target="_blank">trip to Bramall Lane in the first round of the Carabao Cup</a>. Ex-Sheffield Wednesday star Fletcher is unlikely to be the most popular player on show, but expects to share any terrace taunts with a club colleague. Fletcher has said: “It will be a good game. I don't think I will be the most liked person having played for Sheffield Wednesday but that doesn't bother me at all. James McClean will get more pelters than me so I am alright!”

WHAT FLETCHER SAID

The former Burnley, Wolves, Sunderland and Stoke frontman added on that achievement: “I have scored in every league now which is good. It was my first appearance in League One so I have played in every league and scored in every league in England which is a nice little milestone for myself.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Fletcher registered eight goals last season, as Wrexham bounced straight through the fourth tier on the back of a National League title triumph.
