Wrexham pays a ‘significant’ fee to acquire a rival’s striker in promotion push

Associated Press  

Hollywood endings are pricey, even in England’s third division. In pursuit of its third straight promotion, Wrexham splashed some cash at League One rival Reading to secure the services of striker Sam Smith. “Whilst the club was not actively seeking to sell Sam, the significant offer payable by Wrexham will help support the essential short-term finances required to run the club,” Reading said in a statement. “To join the story that has evolved at Wrexham with clear targets is exciting for me.” Wrexham is remarkably two steps away from the Premier League after having climbed from the fifth tier. Last summer, it paid Premier League club Fulham a reported 15 million pounds, before add-ons, to sign striker Jay Stansfield.
