Wrexham confirm first January transfer as £500,000 winger admits he’s ‘over the moon’ to join Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s project

The 24-year-old winger, who will add more creativity to Phil Parkinson’s ranks in the final third of the field, has signed a contract through to 2027 that includes the option for a 12-month extension. He arrives from Hull City and boasts further Championship experience from a loan spell at Millwall.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have had to splash the cash again in order to get a deal done, with Longman reportedly arriving at SToK Racecourse with a £500,000 price tag. He will be determined to make an immediate impression in North Wales.

Longman has told Wrexham’s official website of linking up with the ambitious League One outfit: “I’m over the moon and so glad that the deal is over the line. I’m really looking forward to being a part of this journey. I came to watch the game last night and the atmosphere was incredible.”

The match Longman witnessed was Wrexham’s 1-1 ‘Hollywood Derby’ draw with Birmingham. That results has kept them third in the League One table, with Reynolds and McElhenney – who have a new star for their documentary series – looking to see a historic third successive promotion secured in 2024-25.
