Keeper Foster joins Wrexham on short-term deal

Wrexham have signed goalkeeper Brad Foster on a short-term contract.

Foster has previously been on the books of Stoke City, Derby County and West Brom and had a loan spell with Rushall Olympic.

With Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton both injured, Foster has been added to Wrexham's bench for Saturday's trip to Burton Albion with veteran Mark Howard starting.

"He's been training with us for a couple of weeks helping us on the training ground because we're short and during the training week we need goalkeepers to do the shooting practices," manager Phil Parkinson said.

"He's been working with us and is a bit older and a bit more experienced than Liam Hall.

"We'd still like to bring in another keeper – the EFL rules are not very favourable and very complicated.

"I don't agree with them because when you look at it Arthur's broken his wrist, we've got Callum with a torn thigh and Luke McNicholas is injured as well.

"If that's not exceptional circumstances then I don't know what it. I think the EFL will have to have a very close look at their rules.

"But we'll get on to that tomorrow and try and get a solution to get us through to January."
