Wrexham FC is considering appealing an English Football League decision to reject the transfer of Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong.

Armstrong, 27, was due to join the League Two side as part of a deadline day deal on Friday (September 1).

The sum has not been disclosed but it was believed to have been in the region of £450,000, which would have been the most Harrogate have ever received for a player.

Town issued a press release announcing the deal but it later emerged the EFL had declined to approve the transfer because it said Wrexham had failed to submit paperwork on time.

The Welsh side has now said in a statement yesterday that it has requested “relevant information regarding a potential appeal against the decision”.

It said:

“Further to Saturday's statement on the rejection of Luke Armstrong's transfer registration, Wrexham AFC can confirm the club is still actively collating all the relevant information regarding a potential appeal against the decision.
“Late this afternoon we requested key information from the EFL, which we are informed we should receive tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.”


Armstrong has scored 31 goals in 106 appearances for Harrogate.

Wrexham have been on the lookout for a replacement for star striker Paul Mullin after he suffered a collapsed lung and four broken ribs during the club’s USA pre-season tour.
