Sean Newton: Ex-Lincoln City defender signs for Wrexham

Newton has also played for Chester City and Stockport County

Wrexham manager Gary Mills has made his first signing by bringing in former Lincoln City left-back Sean Newton.

Newton, 26, was not offered a new deal by Lincoln having finished the season on loan at Notts County.

Liverpool-born Newton began his career with Chester and has also played for Southport, Droylsden, Barrow, AFC Telford and Stockport County.

He joined the Lincoln on a two-year deal in the summer of 2013.

Newton's arrival at Wrexham comes after left-back Neil Ashton revealed on social media he had not been offered a new contract by the Dragons.

"Once I heard that Wrexham and the gaffer were interested in me, then there was only one club for me," said Newton.

"There were offers from other clubs, and others at a higher level, but this place ticked all the boxes.

"I've played against Wrexham plenty of times and always thought this was a place I would love to play. "
