Wrexham could be forced into the transfer market due to injuries to striking duo Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher.

Fletcher missed Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at home to Huddersfield with a knee injury, while Marriott will be out for around four months after fracturing his fibula in a training shoot-out. last week.

After Tuesday’s game, manager Phil Parkinson confirmed that the Red Dragons would explore free agent options despite the duo’s continued absence.

Although permanent or loan transfers cannot be registered before January 1, League One clubs can still recruit and register free agents at any time until the end of March.

With that in mind, here are five attackers that Wrexham – who still sit second in the Third Division – could bring to the racecourse.

Kemar Roofe

Now 31, former Leeds, Oxford and West Brom striker Kemar Roofe has plenty of experience in the EFL.

He is a free agent after being released by Scottish giants Rangers this summer. The Jamaica international spent four seasons at Ibrox and scored 25 goals in two years before injuries derailed his progress.

Connor Wickham

Once considered a future England international, Connor Wickham has already been the subject of an £8million move to Premier League side Sunderland.

Injuries have prevented the striker from realizing his full potential, but Wickham still has plenty to offer at 31.

After being released by Crystal Palace in 2021, the striker has enjoyed several spells in the EFL and was most recently at League One side Charlton Athletic, where he scored one goal in four games last season.

Martyn Waghorn

Perhaps the most obvious option on this list, Waghorn scored seven goals in 24 appearances to help Derby secure promotion to the Championship last season.

He left Pride Park at the end of the campaign – to the surprise of some – and has still not found a club.

At 34, the former Wigan, Ipswich and Rangers star still has game time ahead of him and could be the ideal experienced leader to help maintain Wrexham’s momentum ahead of the January window.

Admiral Muskwe

Senior Zimbabwe international, former Leicester striker Admiral Muskwe was named the Foxes’ Academy Player of the Year in the season in which the senior team won the Premier League.

Eight years on, Muskwe is without a club after leaving Luton in the summer. He spent last season in League One on loan at Fleetwood Town, but the 26-year-old made just six appearances after being seriously injured on international duty in November.

Lily Mousset

In 2019, French striker Lys Mousset joined Sheffield United for a record fee – with Yorkshire Live later reporting that manager Chris Wilder had been recommended other alternatives, including a certain Lille striker named Victor Osimhen .

Mousset scored six Premier League goals in his first season and initially impressed Blades fans, but injury limited his playing time in subsequent seasons and he left the club in 2022. The 28-year-old is still without a club after leaving Bochum in January. , having suffered a serious injury to his Achilles tendon during his stay in Germany.
