Midfielder Lee leaves Wrexham by mutual consent

Wrexham have terminated the contract of midfielder Elliot Lee by mutual consent.

The 31-year-old joined the Red Dragons from Luton Town in the summer of 2022 and played a starring role in the club's rapid rise up the football pyramid.

Lee recently entered the final year of his deal with Wrexham and departs the Racecourse Ground having scored 41 goals and featured 152 times across all competitions for the north Wales side.

Manager Phil Parkinson said: "I'd like to thank Elliot for what he has done for this football club.

"He has been a great player for us here at Wrexham and has made a significant contribution to the club's rise through the divisions.

"He is at the stage now where he is eager to go and play and get some minutes, and whoever gets him will get a player who still has a lot to offer."

Lee featured prominently as Wrexham gained three successive promotions from the National League to the Championship.

He was named in the 2022-23 National League team of the year as Wrexham clinched the fifth-tier title with a record 111 points.

The midfielder was listed in the League Two team of the season and the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) team of the year in the following campaign as Wrexham sealed automatic promotion into League One.

The West Ham United academy product's influence waned following Wrexham's promotion into the Championship last year.

Lee's three appearances for the club last season all came in the EFL Cup, and he went on to join Doncaster Rovers on loan where he featured 18 times in League One.

The Durham-born player has not featured in any of Wrexham's four matchday squads across all competitions so far this season and is now a free agent.

He has reportedly attracted interest from League One side Sheffield Wednesday.
