Wrexham are set to hold talks with Josh Windass following the forward's departure from financially-troubled Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

Windass confirmed on Thursday he was leaving the Owls by mutual agreement, with the club under several embargoes having failed to pay wages on time for May and June.

The 31-year-old is now available on a free transfer and will discuss a potential move to Wrexham with manager Phil Parkinson when the club return from their pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Windass impressed for Wednesday in the Championship and League One, scoring 46 goals in 163 appearances.

Several clubs have shown an interest in signing him, as Wrexham look to bolster their squad in preparation for their first season in English football's second tier for 43 years.

Having earned three successive promotions, Wrexham have been busy in the transfer market this summer, signing Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward from Leicester and forward Ryan Hardie from Plymouth.

The Welsh side are also close to completing a club-record deal for Empoli and New Zealand left-back Liberato Cacace.
