Wrexham have signed Plymouth Argyle defender Dan Scarr on a three year deal.

Scarr made more than 100 appearances in all competitions for Argyle since joining in 2021 and was part of the squad which won the League One title in 2023.

The 29-year-old centre-back made his name in non-league football with Stourbridge.

He also played for Birmingham City and Walsall, as well as a loan spell with Wycombe Wanderers.

Scarr is Wrexham's fifth summer signing following the arrival of Lewis Brunt, George Dobson, Seb Revan and Callum Burton.

Wrexham have also signed goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo on a permanent deal after he spent last season on loan at the Stok Racecourse.

"It’s probably one of the most talked about clubs outside of the Premier League. It’s a really exciting project that I’m looking forward to getting stuck into," said Scarr.

β€œIt’s a unique club for this day and age, but the main thing that drew me in was that I want to get another promotion, and be a part of history.

β€œI’ve had good experiences that put me in good stead to go and help the team and help the players around me. I got promoted out of League One with Plymouth, and those sort of experiences I hope will help me have a good season here too."

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: β€œI’m pleased to welcome Dan Scarr to the club.

β€œHe’s been a key figure in Plymouth Argyle’s recent success, and we’re looking forward to working with him over the coming season.”
