Veteran former Sheffield Wednesday star Steven Fletcher has secured his future with an ambitious League One side after a stellar maiden outing last season.

The former Scotland man, who has enjoyed an outstanding career with the likes of Hibs, Burnley, Wolves, Sunderland and Marseille, will take his playing time into his 38th year after agreeing a new one-year deal at Wrexham.

The Welsh club enjoyed a second promotion in two years and will play in League One this season. Fronted by Hollywood acting pair Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham have set about attacking the third tier and the securing of Fletcher will see the striker complete the set in playing in each English division from the Premier League to League Two.

Last season he scored a hat-trick in his 400th EFL appearance in a 4-1 Boxing Day win against Barrow. He has nearly 200 career goals to his name at senior club level in 707 appearances, 38 of which came in Wednesday colours across 138 matches. He has a strong record at international level, scoring 10 times in 33 outings including a seven-in-seven record in the calendar year 2015.

On signing his new contract, Fletcher said: “I’m delighted to have signed another year, and I’m really looking forward to the season ahead.”

Manager Phil Parkinson said: “We’re pleased Steven has re-signed. He played a key role on and off the pitch last season and we look forward to working with him again in our League One campaign.”
