WREXHAM want to offer Wales keeper Danny Ward the chance to join their first season back in the Championship.

Ward, 31, has been freed by Leicester after a difficult spell and could leap at the chance to join Phil Parkinson’s ambitious Red Dragons.

The 44-cap  star was a schoolkid at Wrexham until joining Liverpool in 2012.

But in six years at Anfield he never came close to tying down a first-team spot.

Instead he was loaned out to Morecambe, Aberdeen and Huddersfield before a £12.5million switch to the King Power Stadium.

Ward, who played at the 2022 World Cup, is just the latest player with a Premier League pedigree being linked to Wrexham this summer.

The Red Dragons and Derby have put former Wolves centre-back Craig Dawson on their shortlist of targets.

Dawson, 35, wants to play on and Rams boss John Eustace likes his experience.

But Eustace is also eyeing Blackburn defender Danny Batth – which might allow Wrexham to do a deal for Dawson on top wages.

The Red Dragons have also shown reported interest in two ex-England stars who are leaving West Ham on a free transfer.

Parkinson is keen on left-back Aaron Cresswell, 35, and 33-year-old striker Danny Ings.

Former Liverpool man Ings joined West Ham from Aston Villa for £12million in January 2023.

Fulham skipper Tom Cairney is another experienced name said to be on Wrexham’s radar.

The Nottingham-born Scotland midfielder, 34, is becoming a free agent.

However, Cottagers manager Marco Silva has suggested he wants to keep the ex-Blackburn ace.

The Red Dragons are returning to the second tier for the first time since 1981/82 after making history under the ownership of Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Wrexham have become the first team to reach this level via three promotions in a row.
