Wrexham has secured goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Premier League club Sunderland in a reported record fee, as the Championship side aims for promotion this season. Patterson, 26, signed a four-year contract with the Welsh team, marking his third summer signing. The veteran, who began his career at Sunderland's academy at age 10, amassed 169 appearances for Sunderland, contributing to their promotion into the Championship and then the Premier League.
Patterson also had a stint on loan at Millwall last year, making 16 appearances. Speaking about his move to Wrexham, Patterson expressed excitement about playing in the Premier League. The deal reportedly saw an initial fee of £8 million ($10.8 million), surpassing the previous record of £7.5 million paid for striker Nathan Broadhead last year.
