Josh Windass has become the second former Rangers forward to sign for Wrexham this summer.

The ex-Ibrox ace has penned a three-year deal with the English Championship club, backed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Windass joins Wrexham having been made a free agent just days ago after his Sheffield Wednesday contract was terminated by mutual consent.

On signing for Wrexham, Windass commented: “I’m looking forward to getting going. I’ve spoken to the manager, who has showed me his plans for the season and what he expects from the group, and I’ve really bought into that.

“I’d describe myself as honest and hard-working, I like to contribute goals and assists from midfield and that’s what I’m looking to bring to Wrexham.

“First and foremost, I want to get into the team and earn the respect of my team-mates – I want to be professional, be someone to look up to and then get the team as high up the league as possible.”

The Championship side signed Ryan Hardie for an undisclosed fee from Plymouth Argyle earlier in the summer transfer window.

"Both players leave Hillsborough with immediate effect.

"Smith made 127 appearances for the Owls, scoring 33 goals, since signing in June 2022.

"Windass posted 182 appearances, scoring 53 goals, having joined Wednesday – initially on loan – in January 2020.

"Sheffield Wednesday thank Michael and Josh for their services and wish them well for the future."
