Wrexham AFC are delighted to announce that club captain Shaun Pearson has signed an extension to his current contract.

The Wrexham captain has penned a deal which sees him contracted to the club through until the summer of 2021.

The central defender’s contract was due to expire this summer, both Shaun and the football club were keen to ensure he remains a Wrexham AFC player long term.

Interim manager Graham Barrow said: “It’s really important that the skipper’s future is made clear. He is a key member of the squad and would certainly be an asset at any team in this league.

”It’s a no-brainer really isn’t it? He is one of, if not the best centre-half in the league. He’s an excellent leader. That’s something I have been very impressed with during my time here.”
