Coventry-born Dior Angus scored 19 goals in 73 games for Barrow

Wrexham have signed striker Dior Angus and defender Tyler French.

Angus has moved to the National League club on a free transfer from Barrow on an 18-month deal, while ex-Bradford City player French joins on a free until the end of the season.

French, 21, can play as a centre-back or as a right-sided full-back.

"The stature of the club, the size of the club, is a massive thing for me and the project going forward was really attractive," French said.

"I've learned a lot in my time at Bradford and I think I can use that to help me at Wrexham.

"Wrexham are a club like Bradford - a big club who shouldn't be where they are. It's exciting for me now to help take this club back where it belongs."

Meanwhile, striker Adi Yussuf has departed the club following the termination of his loan spell and returned to Blackpool.

Wrexham have also allowed first-year pros Max Cleworth, 18, and Jake Bickerstaff, 19, to join Cymru Premier league side Caernarfon Town on loan until the end of the season

French, released by Bradford in January, began his career with AFC Sudbury and joined Bradford in 2019.

Angus began his career with Solihull Moors and has also played for Kidderminster Harriers, Daventry Town, Stratford Town, Redditch United and Port Vale.

The 27-year-old scored 12 goals as Barrow secured promotion to the Football League last season.

"I'd like to think I can bring pace and goals to this team, hopefully." Angus said.

"The Racecourse is always one of those where, as a visiting player, you are excited to come here so it's exciting to now be able to play here as a Wrexham player."
