Wrexham suffer transfer blow as former Wales and Premier League star turns down move

Former Wales star Jonny Williams has dealt a blow to Wrexham's hopes of back-to-back promotions by snubbing a switch in favour of a move to League Two rivals Bradford City.

The 29-year-old has had something of a journeyman career came at club level but featured during his country's storied run to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016, while also making the squad for the 2020 edition and last year's World Cup. However, the 33-time international has snubbed the chance to represent North Wales outfit Wrexham in League Two next term.

The diminutive ace, who one may recall appeared in popular Netflix series Sunderland 'Til I Die while on loan in Wearside, retired from international duty following the World Cup last winter. However, the Red Dragons' Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds had designs on bringing him to Wrexham following the club's dramatic promotion back to the EFL.
