Wrexham sign Burnley defender Worrall
Wrexham, who are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, sign centre-back Joe Worrall from Championship rivals Burnley.
Wrexham has signed Burnley defender Joe Worrall for an undisclosed fee, agreeing to a two-year contract with an option for a further year. The 29-year-old former Nottingham Forest player joins the team ahead of the transfer deadline on Tuesday. Wrexham's manager Phil Parkinson has been looking to bolster his defensive options and Worrall fits the bill perfectly.
The North Walian outfit had failed to keep a clean sheet in their first four matches of the season and had not won any games across all competitions in the 2026-27 campaign. Parkinson's team suffered another setback with a 2-1 defeat by Birmingham City, with Parkinson admitting that his side had conceded two of the "softest goals" of his managerial career.
Worrall expressed his excitement about working with the manager and ownership, vowing to give his all for the club.
