One in, one out, one signs new deal

Last updated : 12 January 2008 By Andy Van Hagen
What a busy day!

Firstly we had a new arrival. Lee Holmes from Derby County. A pacey left winger who had been on the bench for the Premiership club over the festive fixtures. He's young at 20 years of age and made his professional debut as a 15 year old!

He will make his debut against Swindon for whom he enjoyed a loan spell in 2005. He impressed enough in just 15 games to win the Young Player of the Season award!

The arrival of Holmes meant Paul Hall's route to first team football became more competitive. Already on the fringes Hall just wants to play games at this stage of his career. You have to respect his wishes and we thank him for his second stint at the club where with no disrespect he has definately contributed more off-the-pitch than on. A great figure to have in the squad he will be a honest addition to Brian Little's Wrexham as they battle avoid relegation. Hall will of course be playing under the manager who really got the best out of him at Tranmere Rovers. Little will be hoping he can reproduce that form with his new club being six points away from safety in League Two.

Another boost for the club on Friday was the announcement of Richard Taundry's new contract. This will see him under contract until the summer of 2010 in what must have been a fantastic award for the Waslall fan.
