Steven Fletcher joins Wrexham after Dundee Utd exit

Steven Fletcher has joined Wrexham.

The former Scotland international has joined the League Two side on a one-year deal.

The 36-year-old teams up with the Hollywood-backed Welsh outfit just two months after leaving Dundee United following their relegation to the Championship.

He goes into Wrexham's squad for their home game against Doncaster tomorrow.

Fletcher said: “Hopefully I can bring a lot of experience. I’m 36, I’m still fit and I'm still raring to go.

“One of the biggest selling points was the ambition of the club, and if I can help with that then great.

“I don’t think you can not see what has been happening at Wrexham – it’s been a great experience for the fans, players and owners so hopefully we can continue that.”

Manager Phil Parkinson said: “I'm really pleased with the addition of Steve to the squad. He's missed football through pre-season but he's trained today with the lads and it's good to have him on board.

"His pedigree speaks for itself, and he's played most of his career at a very high level. He's an excellent professional and that's really important to fit in with the group here.”

Meanwhile, Tottenham midfielder has praised boss Ange Postecoglou, stating his style of play is "brave".

The Australian joined the North London after two years at Celtic where he won five out of six available trophies.

Spurs have made a strong start to their Premier League season, winning three out of their first four games.

And Maddison has nothing but good things to say about Postecoglou.

He said: "The way he wants to play suits me perfectly because it’s how I see football. That’s how I would want the game to be played I think if I was manager, so I’m fulfilling that as a player.

"He likes players who can take the ball and be brave and bravery is not always just flying into a tackle or shouting at someone.

"Bravery is having the balls to take the ball and if you give it away, go and take it again."
