Wrexham ended the summer transfer window with two more additions to their squad, as they signed Kabor from on loan and Hyam from Blackburn for an undisclosed fee.

The Red Dragons have not had the ideal start to their journey in the English second-tier, registering just one win out of their first four Championship matches, which leaves them down in 15th.

After signing for Wrexham, Kabore told the club’s website: “I’m feeling good, I’m very happy to be a Wrexham player. The project here is so amazing. Wrexham is a family Club, a fantastic Club, and that’s why I’m here. I will give everything for this team.”

Hyam also expressed his delight: “It’s really exciting for me. I’m looking forward to meeting the players and the fans and getting started. Speaking to people about Wrexham and seeing how quickly it has gone from strength to strength, it is so attractive as a player to be a part of that. Seeing the success and how well they have done on the pitch and how they have strengthened every season, just really attracted me to it. I thought it was a really exciting opportunity.”

Parkinson’s men, who registered their first Championship win of the season against at the weekend, will be next seen in action after the international break, as they take on QPR on September 13.
