Goalkeeper Mark Howard has signed a new one-year contract extension with Wrexham.

Howard joined The Dragons in the summer of 2022 and has made 49 appearances as the club win back-to-back promotions.

The 37-year-old said he was "delighted" to have signed a new contract.

"To be part of the club on the journey it鈥檚 on is a great honour for myself towards the back end of my career," said Howard.

"I鈥檓 still loving my football.

"I know I鈥檝e got a different role to play going forward, but I absolutely love it.

"I鈥檇 obviously love to play week-in, week-out but I have to accept at 37 that I can't physically do that.

"Last year, I really enjoyed pushing the other keepers and working in that goalkeeping unit and going forward I'll continue to do that and hopefully get a few games along the way."

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "Mark鈥檚 a senior player and a great influence on the younger goalkeepers.

"He鈥檚 also still fit; he works hard in training and is a good role model for the young players, and a good character to have in the dressing room."
