Wrexham completed two signings on transfer deadline day, announcing deals for center back Joe Worrall from Burnley and midfielder Callum O’Hare from Sheffield United.
The deal for Worrall, 29, is for a transfer fee in the region of £2 million ($2.7m), sources told ESPN, while the deal for O’Hare could reach £7 million ($9.4m).
Wrexham have started the 2026-27 season with two draws and a loss in the Championship and were eager to bolster their squad before the window shuts on Tuesday evening.
The club announced on Monday that Conor Coady has departed by mutual consent, and they have moved quickly to bring in another center back with Worrall signing from their Championship rivals. He has been at Burnley since 2024 after joining from Nottingham Forest and played 11 times for them in the Premier League last term.
“I’m really pleased to be here,” Worrall said. “I’m super excited to get my teeth into working with good players, the manager and the ownership. I’m here to win football matches and achieve something special.
“Everything that Wrexham’s about, I’m going to throw myself into it head-first and give my all for this badge.”
O’Hare will add to Wrexham’s options at attacking midfield and the news of his departure will come as a big blow to Chris Wilder’s plans at Sheffield United.
The 28-year-old has signed a three-year deal with an option for a further year and becomes Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson’s seventh signing of the summer.
“The club’s so big and well known and I just really wanted to come here. I’m so excited to get started,” O’Hare said.”I want to help the club go in the right direction and hopefully get what everyone wants – promotion to the Premier League.”
