STRIKER Mo Faal has joined Wrexham from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.

Gambian-born Faal has signed a contract through to June 2027 with an option for a further year.

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at League Two clubs Doncaster Rovers and Walsall, scoring 15 goals which included finding the net for the former in a 2-1 defeat to Wrexham at The Racecourse last September.

Faal moved from The Gambia to England when he was seven years old, and started his youth career with Sutton Coldfield Town before being picked up by West Brom.

While with the Baggies, he made his professional debut in August 2021 and spent time on loan with Hereford, AFC Telford United and AFC Fylde.

After scoring 10 goals in 16 league games for AFC Fylde, he got his his taste of the Football League last season - starting the campaign with Doncaster before finishing at Walsall. He scored nine goals for Doncaster and six at Walsall.

On signing for Wrexham, Faal told the official club website: “I have had a smile on my face since I've been here. I’m excited and thoroughly buzzing to be here - I can’t wait to get started.

“I think everyone in the football world now knows just how big of a club this is, and where it wants

to be.

“Ever since I heard about the project that has been going on here, it has been on an upwards trajectory. Over the last couple of years it has been a club that has really come through and since hearing about all of that and speaking to the gaffer, it made my decision very simple.

“I scored my first professional goal here, and when I came here it was an unbelievable place to play at. The fans are incredible, every single seat was filled. The atmosphere was rumbling and the stadium was absolutely buzzing - to finally be a part of that, It’s unbelievable.”

Reds' boss Phil Parkinson added: “I’m delighted to welcome Mo to the club.

“He’s an exciting young striker and has had a really good progression in his loan moves in the last couple of seasons; we’re really looking forward to working with him.”
