Get the red carpet ready — it looks like Josh Windass is heading for the Racecourse. The former Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday playmaker is reportedly on the verge of signing for Wrexham AFC, with personal terms agreed and a medical pencilled in for Monday.

At 31, Windass became a free agent after his contract with Wednesday was terminated amid financial chaos at the club, including reports of unpaid wages. But it hasn’t taken long for suitors to circle — and none more glamorous than the Hollywood-backed Red Dragons, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Despite whispers of a shock Ibrox return, and serious interest from Norwich, Coventry, Leicester, and Derby, it’s Wrexham who are set to seal the deal. The move is essentially done, following remote discussions with manager Phil Parkinson over the last 72 hours.

The Situation:

• Contract terminated at Sheffield Wednesday after unpaid wages
• 13 goals in the Championship last season — not too shabby
• Interest from multiple Championship clubs, including Leicester & Norwich
• Medical booked, terms agreed with Wrexham

Wrexham, currently soaking up the sun on a pre-season tour in Australia and New Zealand, aren’t just in it for the headlines. The club is aggressively reinforcing for life in the Championship, having already:

• Signed Ryan Hardie (ex-Rangers, Livingston)
• Landed goalkeeper Danny Ward
• Broken their transfer record to sign Liberato Cacace from Empoli for £4 million

Windass brings goals, experience, and a touch of box-office energy. If all goes to plan, this could be one of the statement signings of the summer for Wrexham — and just the kind of script their owners love.

From Hillsborough heartbreak to Hollywood dreams.
