Scarr eager to make mark in Racecourse league debutpublished at 23:03 3 October
Dan Scarr has had to be patient since dropping out of the Championship to join Wrexham in August.
Centre-back Scarr made 28 second-tier appearances for Plymouth Argyle last season.
But the 29-year-old watched Wrexham make a promising start to the League One campaign from the bench, with his only game time in the first seven weeks of 2024-25 coming in cup competitions.
That all changed when Max Cleworth suffered an ankle ligament injury at Leyton Orient last weekend.
Scarr made his Wrexham league debut as a late substitute at Brisbane Road, before making his first third-tier start for the Dragons in the midweek defeat at Stevenage.
Now the former Wycombe Wanderers and Walsall player is eyeing a first Wrexham league appearance on home soil when Northampton Town come to the Stok Racecourse this Saturday.
“The atmosphere has been great every time I have been on the bench,” Scarr said.
“All being well, it would be nice to get a start and play in front of the home fans.”
Wrexham’s aim this weekend will be to make amends after they were beaten in the league for just the second time this season.
Scarr acknowledged that Phil Parkinson’s team “slipped below our standard” in the first half at Stevenage, but insists there is no need for concern.
“We have done well this season. We will pick ourselves up, go again on Saturday and try to put it right.”
