Ashley Young Tipped for Wrexham Move Over Celtic
Premier League winner on the market
Ashley Young, 39, is weighing up the next chapter of his glittering career after his Everton contract expired. The former Manchester United and England star proved his durability with 36 outings last term, operating mainly at full-back, and has made it clear he is not ready to retire before his 40th birthday on 9 July.
Why Wrexham appeal
Ex-Dragons striker Matt Jansen believes geography and ambition point Young toward the Racecourse Ground. “Wrexham’s just round the corner from Merseyside,” he told Genting Casino, adding that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are desperate to sprinkle top-flight experience on a squad that has already secured back-to-back promotions to the Championship. Remaining in the North-West would allow Young to stay close to family while joining a club riding a remarkable wave of momentum.
Celtic still an option
Scottish giants Celtic have put Champions League football on the table, and their badge appeal is undeniable. Yet uprooting to Glasgow at this stage of Young’s life could prove decisive, especially with Wrexham offering a more convenient commute and the promise of regular minutes.
Vardy link adds sparkle
Jamie Vardy, 38, has also been linked with Wrexham after hitting ten goals for Leicester last season. Jansen feels the Foxes legend “would chip in with a lot of goals and good experience,” even if his wages stretch the Welsh club’s budget.
Hollywood vision continues
The celebrity owners are ready to fund more headline signings, keen to keep the “Welcome to Wrexham” cameras rolling as the club targets a Premier League fairy-tale within the next few years.
Opinion
Young’s versatility and leadership could be priceless for Wrexham’s Championship baptism. If the Dragons land him—and maybe Vardy too—their Hollywood story might yet earn a blockbuster sequel.
