Wrexham Evening Leader

He's the Juan that I want!

1/11/04

Juan UgarteDENIS SMITH is hoping to sign Spanish trialist Juan Ugarte.

The Wrexham manager had until 12 noon to sign the striker, on a non-contract basis, in time to face Stockport County tomorrow night in the second round of the LDV Vans Trophy at the Racecourse.

Ugarte spent three years with Real Sociedad, making one appearance for the Spanish giants.

And Smith said today: "I'm trying to get Juan registered at the moment in time to be available to play Stockport.

"It will be on a non-contract basis. We've only saw Juan play for the reserves and that does not give him a fair opportunity.

Smith recently acquired the services of another trialist striker, Matt Shaw, on a non-contract basis. Shaw is currently ill and unlikely to figure in Smith's squad tomorrow night.

Admission prices have been reduced to just £10.00 for adults, while concessionary prices will be only £5.00.

Only the Sainsbury's Stand will be open to Wrexham supporters.

Wrexham's clash at Luton Town is all-ticket for away fans.

Tickets are now on sale at the Racecourse but none will be available on the day of the game.
