Former Manchester United and Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has come out of retirement to sign a short-term deal with National League side Wrexham. It comes just months after the goalkeeper turned down a move to Newcastle United with Eddie Howe's side in the midst of an injury crisis.
Foster claims the Magpies offered him a lucrative deal to sign at St. James' Park but has no regrets over turning them down. Instead, the Magpies would sign Loris Karius and the rest is history and with Foster calling time on his career and hanging up the gloves.
However, the former England international has come out of retirement to sign for Wrexham after their number one goalkeeper Rob Lainton suffered a knee ligament injury. Foster, 39, returns to the Racecourse Ground 18 years after he last played for the Club, on a loan spell which included a starring role in the LDV Vans Trophy Final success at the Millennium Stadium.
