Ben Foster signs new Wrexham contract and speaks out on retirement U-turn

Ben Foster has sensationally extended his stay at Wrexham, performing a U-turn on his retirement after the Welsh club secured promotion.

The Red Dragons regained their football league status after a dramatic title-race last term against Notts County, with their efforts having captured hearts and minds across the globe. Ultimately, they would finish four points above their promotion rivals, with a last-gasp 3-2 win over their nearest challengers proving decisive.

Former Manchester United and Watford goalkeeper was a major coup for the club, which is owned by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds and his signing made a major difference during the title run-in. Out of his eight appearances for the North Wales outfit, he was able to keep three clean sheets, while proving a driving force in the dressing room.
