Wrexham sign former Hartlepool United striker Jonathan Franks

Wrexham manager Dean Keates has bolstered his front line by signing striker Jonathan Franks, who was urged to join the Reds by his former Hartlepool teammate Nicky Deverdics.
Keates added midfielder Deverdics from Pools last week and now he’s helped get the latest signing over the line ahead of the promotion run-in.
Franks left Pools in early January when his short-term contract expired and a transfer embargo on the club meant they couldn’t extend his deal further.
The 27-year-old scored six goals in 22 appearances during the first half of this season in his second spell with the club.
Upon joining the National League leaders, Franks said:  “I had a word with Nicky Deverdics when I learnt of Wrexham‘s interest and he said I would enjoy playing here, so here I am.
“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, a mad 24 hours, but also enjoyable and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
