WREXHAM have announced their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Arthur Okonkwo has returned to the League One club on a free transfer following his release by Arsenal.
The goalkeeper previously spent last season on loan at the Racecourse Ground, helping Wrexham win promotion.
He has now signed a three-year deal with the Red Dragons through to the summer of 2027.
Okonkwo will officially join on July 1 when his Gunners deal expires.

Speaking to the club website, the 21-year-old explained: "I’m feeling very good, I’m so happy to have finally signed and I can’t wait to get back to it.
"It was amazing last season. We had so many good memories together with the fans, and knowing they wanted me back was a big reason that I’m back. It’s good to finally be here.
"This is home, it’s felt like that since last season when I came in. The co-chairmen are so good, the manager, the coaches, the players, and obviously the backroom staff that you don’t see. It’s so good to be here."
Okonkwo made 40 appearances across all competitions for Wrexham last season, keeping 16 clean sheets and conceding just 35 goals.
The former England youth international was a key part of Phil Parkinson's promotion-winning side.
