Wrexham are reportedly targeting a Championship veteran who was once on the books at Liverpool before the end of the transfer window.
The ambitious Welsh side, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, formerly known as Rob McElhenney, suffered heartbreak in their first second division match in 43 years, conceding in the 96th minute to lose 2-1 away at Southampton.
Wrexham also face an anxious wait to see how severe an injury £2million summer signing Kieffer Moore picked up after he was forced off with ankle ligament damage.
With three weeks left to go in the summer transfer window, Wrexham are not done yet and they are said to be chasing an experienced defender to shore things up.
Boss Phil Parkinson has already recruited former Premier League captain Conor Coady and ex-top flight goalkeeper Danny Ward, who joined from Leicester City for a combined £2m.
