Josh Adam signs for Wrexham AFC

Wrexham AFC say they are “pleased” to announce the signing of Scotland Under-21 international midfielder Josh Adam on a free transfer.

Adam, 20, has been on trial with the Club and has now penned a permanent contract until the end of the season, with the option of a further year.

The Glasgow-born former Celtic and Manchester City academy player has two Scotland Under-21 caps to his name, both won last year.

And he said upon signing: “It’s really exciting to get it over the line. I’m excited to get started and get going.

“They have been tough sessions while I’ve been here on trial – the gaffer’s had us working hard – but the boys have all been brilliant and I’ve got to know a lot of them.

“I’d say I’m a very technical player, I like to get on the ball a lot and make things happen. I’ve had some of the best coaches and best team-mates at academy level, they’ve helped me to grow a lot and it’s challenged me, and now the next step is to get into the men’s game.”

Adam moved to Manchester City from Celtic in 2020, going on to win two Under-18 Premier League titles and two Premier League 2 titles. He played 99 matches across City’s youth teams, scoring 18 goals and adding 12 assists.

On his signing, manager Phil Parkinson said: “I’d like to welcome Josh to the Club. He’s a talented young player and we look forward to working with him.”
