Wrexham were beaten by Eredivisie side FC Groningen in two back-to-back matches in the Netherlands on Saturday.

In the first game a side which included most recent signing Conor Coady were beaten 1-0 after conceding a late goal.

The second game saw David Van der Werff put the hosts ahead after 18 minutes but four minutes later Josh Windass equalised with his first goal for Wrexham.

But Groningen went ahead seven minutes before half-time through Brynjólfur Willumsson and the Iceland international sealed the win with his side's third with a minute of the 90 remaining.

Wrexham begin the Championship season – their first in English football's second tier since 1982 – on Saturday, 9 August at Southampton.
