Josh Windass Set for Wrexham Switch in Bold Championship Move
So, some pretty interesting news coming out of Welsh football this week—Josh Windass is set to sign for Wrexham, and it’s got a lot of people talking. If you're a fan of Championship football or just following Wrexham’s incredible rise, this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
Windass, who just left Sheffield Wednesday by mutual agreement, is now a free agent. His exit comes as Wednesday continue to struggle financially, with multiple reports confirming they've been late on wage payments in recent months. It’s never great to see a club in turmoil like that, but it’s opened the door for Windass to make what could be a defining move in his career. Wrexham have swooped in and are reportedly set to complete the deal after a medical scheduled for Monday.

Now, Windass isn’t just any player. At 31, he brings a wealth of experience and a solid goal-scoring record. We’re talking 46 goals in 163 appearances for Wednesday, including 13 last season alone, plus five assists. The guy’s a proven attacker, both in the Championship and League One, and he’s drawn attention from a handful of clubs this summer. Still, Wrexham look to have won the race.
But the story goes deeper. Windass has a bit of history—he’s the son of Hull City legend Dean Windass and also had a stint at Rangers. That’s where it gets spicy. He left Rangers in a controversial move that didn’t sit well with then-manager Steven Gerrard. On the Open Goal podcast, Windass admitted he jumped in the car and drove south the moment Wigan showed interest. He later regretted the decision and got a harsh Zoom call dressing-down from Gerrard himself. Wild, right?
This all adds layers to the kind of personality and experience Windass brings. He’s been through ups and downs, made mistakes, learned from them, and now finds himself on the brink of a very exciting chapter. And Wrexham—well, what a ride they’re on. Three promotions in a row, backed by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and now gearing up for their first season in the Championship in over four decades.
They’ve already made some serious moves in the transfer market—signing Wales keeper Danny Ward, striker Ryan Hardie, and club-record buy Liberato Cacace. Windass is likely another piece of that ambitious puzzle.
Honestly, this move makes sense for both sides. Windass gets a fresh start at a club on the up, and Wrexham get an experienced forward with a real eye for goal. It’s one of those signings that feels like it could turn out to be a masterstroke. Let’s see how it unfolds, but for now, Wrexham fans—get excited.
