Wrexham closing in on Sunderland's Patterson
Goalkeeper Anthony Patterson is closing in on a switch from Sunderland to Championship side Wrexham.
Wrexham is on the verge of signing Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson. The 26-year-old is set to undergo a medical with the Welsh club and could make his debut for Wrexham in their opening Championship match against Cardiff City on August 17th. The move could also allow Nigeria international Arthur Okonkwo, whose contract with Wrexham is set to expire, to leave the Racecourse Ground.
Patterson, who started his career at Sunderland's academy, made his senior debut for the Black Cats in 2020-21. He played a crucial role in Sunderland's promotion to the Championship via the League One play-offs in 2022-23. Patterson also had a loan spell at Notts County during the 2021-22 season and contributed 45 appearances in the Championship during the 2024-25 campaign.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Millwall, making 16 appearances. Patterson's previous club Sunderland loaned him to Millwall for the second half of the 2024-25 season, where he scored 16 appearances across all competitions.
