Wrexham have signed Chester's John Rooney as well as midfielder Anthony Barry and defender Curtis Tilt .

Brother of Manchester United and England captain Wayne, Rooney, 25, turned out over 100 times for Chester.

Barry, 30, most recently played for Accrington, who he joined from Forest Green following a loan spell in 2014.

25-year-old Tilt began his career with Halesowen Town and moved to Hednesford Town before joining boss Rob Smith at AFC Telford United last year.

Rooney had been offered a deal with Chester but chose to join Wrexham on a one-year contract.

The trio join new signings Khallem Bailey-Nicholls, Hamza Bencherif, Callum Powell, Martin Riley, Kai Edwards, Jordan White at the Racecourse Ground.
