Wrexham adds 'keeper in reported club record fee
Wrexham signed goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Premier League Sunderland for a reported club-record fee as the Championship side and its Hollywood owners seek promotion to the top flight this season.
Wrexham said Patterson, its third summer signing, had signed a four-year contract to the end of the 2029-2030 campaign.
The 26 year-old, who joined Sunderland's academy at the age of 10, made 169 competitive appearances for the club and helped secure play-off promotions to the Championship and Premier League. He made 16 appearances for Millwall on loan last season.
"I want to play in the Premier League with Wrexham, and I think everything is in place and ready for the Club to do that," Patterson said.
Media reported the deal was for an initial fee of 8 million pounds ($10.80 million). The previous record was a reported 7.5 million pounds for striker Nathan Broadhead last year.
Wrexham finished seventh in the Championship last season, two points short of a play-off spot for Premier League promotion. Hollywood A-list owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the Welsh team in 2021.
