Wrexham snap up Championship defender on three year deal from Plymouth

Wrexham AFC say they are “delighted” to announce the signing of Plymouth Argyle defender Dan Scarr for an undisclosed fee.

The centre-back, 29, has signed a contract until the end of the 2026/27 season.

A promotion winner with Argyle in 2023, the former Birmingham City and Walsall defender made 31 appearances in all competition for the EFL Championship side last season.

And on signing for Wrexham, he said: “It’s probably one of the most talked about Clubs outside of the Premier League. It’s a really exciting project that I’m looking forward to getting stuck into.

“It’s a unique Club for this day and age, but the main thing that drew me in was that I want to get another promotion, and be a part of history.

“I’ve had good experiences that put me in good stead to go and help the team and help the players around me. I got promoted out of League One with Plymouth, and those sort of experiences I hope will help me have a good season here too.”

Scarr started his career in non-league football, with Worcester City, Causeway United, Redditch United and Stourbridge. After reaching the FA Cup Third Round with the latter in 2017, he signed for Birmingham and spent time out on loan with Wycombe Wanderers too.

His breakthrough came at Walsall, however, making nearly 100 appearances between 2019 and 2021.

He moved to Plymouth in 2021, winning promotion alongside new Wrexham team-mate Callum Burton in 2023, before helping the Club stay in the EFL Championship last season.

On his signing, manager Phil Parkinson said: “I’m pleased to welcome Dan Scarr to the Club. “He’s been a key figure in Plymouth Argyle’s recent success, and we’re looking forward to working with him over the coming season.”

This signing has again been announced via livestream of the club’s new Wrexham Contract Printer – HP Smart Tank.
