Prior to Wrexham’s 2-1 loss to Norwich City, the Welsh side’s CEO Mike Williamson confirmed McClean – who played a key role in two promotions in north Wales – was set to leave the club.
“We’ve been a club that’s always been supportive of what players are looking to do and giving them the opportunities that they look for,” Williamson told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
“That’s come straight from Rob [Mac] and Ryan [Reynolds], where they’ve shown with some of the players who aren’t part of the project and the journey as you go forward and move up, they’ve always done right by the players.
“Making sure when they have an opportunity to do something that they feel is important to them and special to them that we support them 100%.
“It’s the same sort of situation with Jimmy.”
