Goalkeeper Burton signs Wrexham extension

Goalkeeper Callum Burton has signed a two-year contract extension to remain at Wrexham until the 2026-27 campaign concludes.

The 28-year-old made four League One appearances during Wrexham's rise to the Championship.

Burton's 2024-25 campaign was curtailed by a thigh injury and he hopes to make a bigger impression when the new season gets underway.

"I loved my year here last year even though it got cut short by injury," he said

"Wrexham is a club on the rise, and I want to be able to play my part in that."

Burton started last season as understudy to first-choice Arthur Okonkwo, who broke a wrist in November 2024 giving Burton an opportunity.

But Burton himself suffered injury the following month and he did not figure for the remainder of Wrexham's promotion winning campaign.

With veteran Mark Howard released at the end of last season, Wrexham have re-signed Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward on a two-year deal in the build-up to their return to the Championship.

In the meantime Luke McNicholas has joined new Forest Green Rovers, one of new manager Robbie Savage's first recruits for the National League club.
