At 36, the seasoned defender was approaching the end of his previous agreement with Wrexham, but he’s now locked in until the summer of 2027. Since arriving in 2023, the ex-Republic of star has featured in 89 matches for the team, and he’s thrilled about prolonging his journey with the Welsh side.

In a statement on the club’s official site, he shared: “I’m thrilled to have renewed my commitment to the team.

My family adores the area, I feel right at home, and we’re all looking forward to what’s ahead.”
