Overview

  • The initial fee is reported at £7.5 million with up to £2.5 million in performance add-ons, making Broadhead the club’s most expensive signing to date.
  • Broadhead returns to his boyhood club as the ninth arrival of a summer recruitment drive following three consecutive promotions.
  • Negotiations accelerated once Ipswich secured Chuba Akpom on loan, clearing the way for Broadhead’s departure.
  • Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have pushed Wrexham’s summer outlay past £20 million under EFL Profit and Sustainability regulations.
  • Some supporters have raised concerns that heavy transfer spending is taking priority over long-term infrastructure projects such as a permanent training ground.
