THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wrexham went top of the League One standings with a 3-0 win against Shrewsbury on Saturday, moving them three ahead of their nearest rivals, though Stockport and Birmingham have a game in hand.

WHAT ADAM SAID
"I’m excited to get started and get going," he told the club's website. "They have been tough sessions while I’ve been here on trial – the gaffer’s had us working hard – but the boys have all been brilliant and I’ve got to know a lot of them. I’d say I’m a very technical player, I like to get on the ball a lot and make things happen. I’ve had some of the best coaches and best team-mates at academy level, they’ve helped me to grow a lot and it’s challenged me, and now the next step is to get into the men’s game."
