Wrexham release ELEVEN stars including ex-Prem player days after Vegas promotion party with Foster’s future in limbo
WREXHAM have released 11 players ahead of their return to the Football League.
The Red Dragons secured promotion to League Two last month with a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood at the Racecourse Ground.
They finished the season on a total of 111 points – a new record for the National League.
But a number of players are now set to leave Wrexham, despite the club’s historic campaign.
Ryan Austin, Malik Dijksteel, Jake Hyde, Rory Watson, Tom Jenkins, Dan Jones, Louis Lloyd and Will Mountfield have all been released as well as former Burnley goalkeeper Kai Calderbank-Park and ex-Norwich defender Reece Hall-Johnson.
Harry Lennon is also set to depart.
The 28-year-old recently confirmed his intention to retire due to several injury issues.
The future of former Manchester United and Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster is also uncertain.
Wrexham officials are set to hold talks with the 40-year-old to establish whether he will continue at the club or return to retirement.
Mark Howard, Anthony Forde and Paul Mullin – who has scored 38 goals for the Red Dragons this season – have had their contracts extended by a further year.

Wrexham’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny were keen to treat the first team to an epic promotion party in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The duo covered all the costs of the extravagant holiday, according to star striker Mullin.
Prior to the trip, the 28-year-old told GQ: “It became a thing where if we won the league, we’d get a holiday. So we’re off to Vegas.
“Ryan and Rob told us to leave our cards at home, they’re sorting the lot.
“They sent us a full itinerary just now.
“Part of me doesn’t want to go, I might be dead by the end of it.
“But I’d never go to Vegas by my own accord, so I’m buzzing for it.”
The Wrexham stars enjoyed dinner at the exclusive Hakkasan restaurant one evening before a party, where they received an incredible reception.
