Wrexham Lining Up Ambitious Move for Wolves Midfielder After Hardie Signing
Wrexham could be set to follow up the signing of Ryan Hardie with another high-profile addition — this time targeting a midfielder with Premier League and Championship experience.
With promotion to the Championship secured, the club’s Hollywood-backed owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, now face their biggest challenge yet: staying competitive in England’s second tier.
Manager Phil Parkinson, fresh off guiding Wrexham to a second-place finish in League One and securing a third consecutive promotion, is now busy strengthening the squad for what lies ahead.
Backed by a reported £25 million transfer budget this summer, Parkinson has already splashed £700,000 to bring striker Ryan Hardie in from relegated Plymouth Argyle.
Hardie’s arrival — having netted 22 goals across two Championship campaigns — signals Wrexham’s intent to recruit proven talent.
Now, attention is turning to Wolves midfielder Tommy Doyle, with Wrexham working on a permanent move for the former Manchester City player.
Wrexham Targeting Tommy Doyle in Ambitious £3m Move
Wrexham Insider understands that the club has already opened talks to sign Doyle, who is valued at around £3 million.
Despite making 24 appearances for Wolves in the Premier League last season, the 23-year-old struggled for minutes, starting only three matches and contributing just one assist.
Doyle, who has previously been compared to Sunderland star Jobe Bellingham, is seen as a potential long-term investment — someone who could thrive at Wrexham and generate a significant profit down the line.
Graeme Bailey, chief transfer correspondent at Wrexham Insider, confirmed: “Tommy Doyle has a lot of interest this summer, and Wrexham are very keen. They admire him and are actively working on bringing him in.”
Why Tommy Doyle Could Be a Smart Signing for Wrexham
1. A Promising Investment
Doyle fits the mold of an asset with resale value — much like goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, who was signed last summer and has since raised his profile significantly.
Given his pedigree at Manchester City and his age, Doyle could blossom into a star at Wrexham and eventually attract major offers from higher-tier clubs.
2. Versatility in Midfield
Doyle is known for his adaptability. He can play in various midfield roles — from a deeper No. 6 to a creative No. 10.
His ability to operate fluidly across positions would be a huge asset for Parkinson, who values tactical flexibility and quick transitions in midfield, especially during the demanding Championship campaign.
3. Championship and Top-Flight Experience
Though still young, Doyle already has valuable experience in the Championship from spells at Cardiff City and Sheffield United. He’s also featured 51 times in the Premier League and even made a Champions League appearance with Manchester City. His familiarity with the league’s intensity would be vital as Wrexham adjusts to life at a higher level.
If completed, Doyle’s signing would mark a record-breaking move for Wrexham and further underline their ambition to not just survive — but thrive — in the Championship.
