Wrexham captain James McClean is set to leave the club in a sudden move and complete a transfer to his boyhood side, Cliftonville, after being hit with a ban for violent conduct.
The 35-year-old has been a key figure for Phil Parkinson’s team since arriving at the Racecourse Ground, helping Wrexham continue their rise through the divisions. But his time in north Wales now looks to be coming to an unexpected end, with the deal to return to Northern Ireland moving quickly.
It has been revealed that McClean is poised to join Cliftonville, the club he supported growing up, with the switch coming shortly after the suspension was confirmed.
McClean’s exit would see Wrexham lose an experienced leader as the club prepares for the next stage of their campaign, while Cliftonville are set to bring home one of the most high-profile players in their recent history.
