Wrexham AFC has completed the signing of Luke Armstrong from Harrogate Town on transfer deadline day. The 24-year-old forward joins the Welsh club on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Armstrong, the son of former Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town striker Alun Armstrong, has been in impressive form for Harrogate this season, scoring 13 goals in all competitions. His performances caught the attention of Wrexham manager Dean Keates, who was keen to strengthen his attacking options.
The move comes as a boost for Wrexham, who are currently sitting in 12th place in the National League table. Keates believes Armstrong’s arrival will provide a much-needed boost to the team’s goal-scoring abilities.
Speaking about the transfer, Keates said, “Luke is a talented young player who has been performing well for Harrogate this season. We are delighted to have him on board and believe he will make a positive impact on our squad.”
Armstrong expressed his excitement about the move, stating that he was looking forward to the new challenge at Wrexham. He also thanked Harrogate for their support during his time at the club.
“I am thrilled to be joining Wrexham and can’t wait to get started,” said Armstrong. “I want to thank everyone at Harrogate for their support and belief in me. It’s been a great experience, but I’m ready for this new chapter in my career.”
Wrexham fans will hope that Armstrong can replicate his goal-scoring form at his new club and help propel them up the league standings. The team has struggled to find the back of the net consistently this season, and the addition of Armstrong could be the solution they need.
Armstrong is set to make his debut for Wrexham in their upcoming match against Dagenham & Redbridge. With his arrival, the team will be hoping to secure a much-needed victory and kickstart their climb up the league table.
Overall, Wrexham’s signing of Luke Armstrong from Harrogate Town on transfer deadline day is seen as a positive move for the club. The addition of the talented forward is expected to provide a significant boost to the team’s attacking capabilities and improve their chances of success in the National League.
