Wrexham are pushing to sign Sheffield United captain Jack Robinson as manager Phil Parkinson continues to strengthen his squad with proven Championship experience.
The Red Dragons’ return to the second tier ended in heartbreak on Saturday. A 96th-minute Southampton winner sealed a 2–1 defeat at St Mary’s, and the afternoon grew worse when £2 million summer signing Kieffer Moore suffered an ankle ligament injury. With the transfer window still open, Parkinson is keen to act quickly.
Robinson remains on Wrexham’s shortlist
Journalist Alan Nixon reports that discussions between Wrexham and Sheffield United have been ongoing for weeks. Although the sale of Anel Ahmedhodžić to Feyenoord delayed further departures, the Welsh club remain optimistic about concluding a deal before the deadline. Robinson is open to the move, and his ability to operate both in central defence and at full-back makes him an attractive fit for Parkinson’s plans.
Experienced at Championship level
Robinson’s career has spanned over a decade in the Championship, with spells at Wolves, QPR, Blackpool, Huddersfield, Nottingham Forest, and Sheffield United. Last season, he was a mainstay in the Blades’ back line, contributing consistently across the campaign. His game time and versatility underline why Wrexham see him as a priority target.

Why he fits Wrexham’s plans
Parkinson’s summer recruitment has focused on players with proven second-tier credentials. Conor Coady, Danny Ward, Lewis O’Brien, Josh Windass, and Ryan Hardie have already joined the squad. Adding Robinson would bring not only defensive solidity but also leadership qualities that could prove vital in tight matches.
