Wrexham complete record deal for Sunderland goalkeeper Patterson
The Championship side make their third summer signing as their Hollywood owners target promotion to the top flight this season.
Wrexham has completed a record deal to sign Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson for a reported fee of £8 million, marking the highest transfer fee in the club's history. The Championship side, owned by Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, aims to secure promotion to the Premier League this season. Patterson, a 26-year-old who joined Sunderland's academy at the age of ten, has made 169 competitive appearances for the club and played a crucial role in securing promotions to both the Championship and Premier League.
Last season, he made 16 appearances on loan at Millwall. Patterson is set to sign a four-year contract with Wrexham, which is set to conclude at the end of the 2029-30 campaign. Patterson expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play in the Premier League with Wrexham. The previous record transfer fee for Wrexham was £7.5 million, paid for striker Nathan Broadhead last year.
The team finished seventh in the Championship last season, falling two points short of securing a playoff spot for promotion to the Premier League.
