Striker Steven Fletcher has announced “with a heavy heart” he is leaving Wrexham “and not by choice”.

The 38-year-old former Scotland international’s departure comes as the Hollywood-owned side prepare for life in the Championship after successive promotions.

Fletcher, who scored nine goals as Wrexham won promotion from League One, had been hoping to earn a new deal at the north Wales club.

Fletcher posted on social media: “I unfortunately have to announce my departure from what I can only describe as the most magical club I have ever played at!

“In my 22 years of stepping onto a pitch, I have never experienced anything like this club.”
