Wrexham Signs Championship Striker Ryan Hardie From Plymouth Argyle

Wrexham has secured the signing of striker Ryan Hardie from Plymouth Argyle on a three-year contract, marking their first summer signing. Hardie, a proven Championship goal scorer with 74 goals in 248 appearances for Plymouth, joins Wrexham for an undisclosed fee reportedly around £700,000 due to a reduced release clause after Argyle's relegation. The move allows Hardie to continue playing in the Championship and potentially boosts his chances of a Scotland call-up. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed enthusiasm about Hardie's arrival, highlighting the benefit of a full pre-season for integration into the squad. Hardie praised Wrexham's family-oriented club culture and is eager to contribute to the team’s success. While Argyle fans lament his departure, they acknowledge his significant impact and memorable contributions during his five-and-a-half years at the club.
