UPDATE: Scottish Premiership giants Rangers FC are urgently pursuing a transfer to bring back former forward Josh Windass, as reports confirm his uncertain future at Wrexham AFC. The latest developments come just hours into the January transfer window, with Windass potentially reuniting with his previous manager Danny Rohl.
Windass, who made a significant impact during his time at Rangers from 2016 to 2018, is currently navigating a challenging situation at Wrexham. The club recently celebrated a strong 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers, marking their third consecutive win in the Championship. This performance has reignited hopes for play-off contention, putting pressure on Wrexham to retain key players like Windass.
Despite his contributions—scoring six goals and providing three assists in 19 league appearances—Windass has missed recent games due to a calf injury. The 31-year-old forward has already captained Wrexham on five occasions and was expected to play a pivotal role in their promotion ambitions. However, speculation about his exit has intensified following reports from Ben Jacobs of Give Me Sport, indicating that Rohl is keen on reuniting with Windass at Rangers.
Officials from Wrexham are reportedly resistant to a loan move unless a fee is paid, complicating any potential transfer. While Rangers are also exploring other options, the financial implications make a permanent deal unlikely. Windass, who is estimated to earn £15,000 per week, has expressed admiration for Rohl, calling him “the best coach I’ve ever had by far,” suggesting an emotional tug towards a Rangers return.
As the winter transfer window heats up, all eyes are on Windass’s next move. With Wrexham aiming for a strong finish in the Championship and an FA Cup clash against Nottingham Forest looming, the stakes are high.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Rangers push to secure Windass’s return, and Wrexham seeks to maintain its competitive edge.
