Wales International Tom Lawrence Poised to Leave Rangers with Wrexham and Others Eyeing Potential Move
Welsh midfielder Tom Lawrence is on the brink of departing Rangers this summer, with Wrexham and a host of other clubs showing interest in securing his services. Lawrence, a product of the Manchester United academy, joined Rangers in 2022 but has been plagued by persistent injuries during his tenure at Ibrox. As a result, the 31-year-old is expected to become a free agent at the end of the season, with Rangers opting not to extend his contract beyond this campaign.
Despite a failed attempt to leave Scotland last summer due to a £5 million price tag, Lawrence’s prospects have now brightened with Rangers reportedly willing to let him depart for free. With new owners 49ers Enterprises set to take charge at Ibrox, the Welshman is poised for a fresh challenge, attracting interest from various clubs across the UK and Europe.
Among the potential suitors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham are actively pursuing Lawrence, offering a sentimental appeal as the midfielder was born in the city. However, Wrexham faces competition from several English Football League (EFL) sides including Burnley, Coventry City, West Brom, Middlesbrough, and Blackburn Rovers. Additionally, clubs from abroad such as Olympiacos, POAK, and Besiktas are also reportedly keen on acquiring Lawrence’s services.
The interest in Lawrence underscores Wrexham’s evolving ambition and progress, as they aim for promotion to the Championship. Landing a player with Lawrence’s background in the Championship and international experience could set the tone for further recruitment at the Racecourse Ground as Wrexham eyes a successful summer transfer window.
Addressing his recent Wales squad recall after a four-year absence, Lawrence expressed his readiness for a new chapter, hinting at past disagreements with former management. Reflecting on his exclusion, Lawrence stated, “He had his own way of doing things and I wasn’t to be a part of that. For what reason, you’d have to ask him.” The midfielder’s return to the Wales setup signals a potential resurgence in his career as he seeks a fresh start post-Rangers.
As Lawrence’s future hangs in the balance, the competition among clubs for his signature intensifies, with Wrexham standing as a sentimental favourite alongside a range of domestic and foreign contenders. With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Lawrence’s next destination will likely be a topic of considerable speculation and anticipation among football fans.
