Rangers 'make approach' for Wrexham's Josh Windass just months after Sheffield Wednesday exit
Josh Windass only swapped Sheffield Wednesday for Wrexham in the summer - but has already been linked with Rangers.
The forward left Hillsborough amid the club’s off-field turbulence in July, ending his contract by mutual consent.
He did not take long to find a new home, signing for newly-promoted Championship outfit Wrexham.
The 31-year-old has since racked up 21 appearances for the Wales-based club, registering six goals and three assists.
Josh Windass linked with Rangers
However, according to GiveMeSport, he is already attracting intention from elsewhere. The report has suggested he has been the subject of a loan enquiry from Scottish giants Rangers.
The Gers are led by Windass’ former Wednesday boss Danny Rohl, who has succeeded Russell Martin at Ibrox.
A move to Ibrox would not only reunite Windass with Rohl, it would mark a return to the club he made 73 appearances for between 2016 and 2018.
Given the key role he played under Rohl in South Yorkshire, talk of interest from Rangers is not particularly surprising. It has, however, been claimed Wrexham do not want to sanction an exit.
What Josh Windass said about Wrexham move
After joining the Red Dragons in the summer, Windass said: “I’m looking forward to getting going. I’ve spoken to the manager, who has showed me his plans for the season and what he expects from the group, and I’ve really bought into that.
“I’d describe myself as honest and hard-working, I like to contribute goals and assists from midfield and that’s what I’m looking to bring to Wrexham.
“First and foremost, I want to get into the team and earn the respect of my teammates – I want to be professional, be someone to look up to and then get the team as high up the league as possible.”
Wrehxam sit 15th in the Championship table, while Rangers are fourth in the Scottish Premiership. Wednesday, having lost a raft of players and received point deductions, are bottom of the Championship.
