DONE DEAL: Wrexham AFC Sign Newcastle United Free Agent Callum Wilson on Three-Year Deal

In a major coup for the club, Wrexham AFC have completed the signing of Callum Wilson, the veteran Newcastle United and England international striker, on a three-year contract. The move marks a bold statement of intent from the League One newcomers as they continue their meteoric rise under Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Wilson, 32, joins Wrexham as a free agent following the expiration of his contract at St. James’ Park. Despite attracting interest from Championship and even lower-tier Premier League sides, Wilson chose the ambitious Welsh club, citing the project’s passion, vision, and the opportunity to help lead a team on the rise.

Speaking after the announcement, Wilson said:
“I’ve had a fantastic time at Newcastle, but I felt now was the right time for a new challenge. Wrexham’s ambition is clear, and I’m excited to be a part of something special here. I want to bring experience, goals, and leadership to help this club keep climbing.”

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson hailed the signing as a “transformative moment” for the club:
“Callum brings top-level experience, professionalism, and a proven goal-scoring record. He’ll be a massive presence on and off the pitch.”

Wilson scored over 40 goals during his time at Newcastle and has been capped multiple times by England. His arrival adds Premier League pedigree to a Wrexham side already brimming with momentum following back-to-back promotions.

With the likes of Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee already forming a potent attacking unit, Wilson’s inclusion gives the Red Dragons a fearsome forward line and an edge in their pursuit of Championship promotion.

This signing signals that Wrexham’s fairytale isn’t slowing down—it’s just getting started.
