Dwight Yorke Urges Jesse Lingard to Consider Wrexham Move

Yorke cites his Sunderland promotion to argue a Wrexham stint could reboot Lingard’s career.

Overview

  • Lingard is a free agent after mutually ending his FC Seoul contract in December following two seasons in South Korea.
  • Yorke told PokerScout that Lingard could be an asset in the Championship and floated Wrexham as a plausible destination.
  • Drawing on his 2006–07 experience, Yorke noted he joined Sunderland near the bottom of the table before winning the Championship title.
  • Wrexham sit ninth in the Championship with wealthy backing from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, having invested heavily last summer.
  • No talks or agreement have been reported, though Lingard has thanked FC Seoul and highlighted an "unbelievable" spell that included 66 appearances, 18 goals and the captaincy.
