Wrexham have completed the signing of defender Will Boyle from Huddersfield Town.
The 27-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the Racecourse Ground, keeping him at the club until 2026.
The centre-back joins a Wrexham side that ended their 15-year absence from the Football League last season, winning promotion from the National League ahead of Notts County.
“I’m delighted the deal’s over the line, and looking forward to getting started,” Boyle told the club’s official website.
“It’s a good time to join – I can’t say anything that people don’t already know about what’s happening at this football club – but it’s also a perfect time for me to join, I feel, and a perfect opportunity for me.
“It’s exciting to be a part of. As soon as I knew there would be an opportunity to join, it excited me. It’s a club that is only going in one direction.”
Manager Phil Parkinson added: “Will is a strong addition to the squad; he’s had success in this division before and then played in League One and had a taste of the Championship last season too.
“I feel his character will fit in perfectly with the group, and it’s pleasing to get a signing through the door prior to departing for America.”
Boyle will join up with his new teammates ahead of their pre-season tour of America, where the team owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will face the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.
Wrexham will then begin life back in the Football League at home to MK Dons on August 5.
