Former Watford and Man United keeper comes out of retirement to sign for Welsh club Wrexham

From Wrexham website

Ben Foster who retired September in 2022 now, in March 2023, leaves retirement to join the Non-league team Wrexham United

Ben returns to Wrexham after playing for them on loan 18 years ago from Stoke City. He will now join the squad with Kilkenny man Tom O’Connor, who signed from Burton earlier this year. The Englishman announced this on the RobRyanRed Wrexham AFC podcast on Spotify below.

He signed a short-term contract, with only 8 games left in the National League with Wrexham hoping to get promoted to the EFL League 2. The Red Dragons currently sit atop the table with 94 points, 3 points ahead of runners-up Notts county.

Here’s what Foster said about joining the Welsh side,  “I’m over the moon. I’ve been at the Club for an hour this morning and it seems like a really nice place. Everyone is down to earth and the manager’s top-class.

“I’ve changed a lot since the last time I was here but it’s nice to be back and back as a player too, it will be interesting to see how my body feels after training today, I’m looking forward to getting started.”

Manager Phil Parkinson said of his signing: “We’re delighted to welcome Ben to the Club.”

“With Rob Lainton getting injured at the weekend, it was important we had all bases covered going into the last part of the season, which this signing ensures.”

Wrexham has become world-renowned in the last few years after Hollywood hotshots Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over the club and decided to document the experience on Disney +.
