Wales Euro idol Hal Robson-Kanu makes fresh plea to play for Wrexham on TV and clarifies retirement stance

Hal Robson-Kanu has reiterated his eagerness to join Wrexham and insists he hasn't yet officially retired.

The former West Brom striker has been without a club since leaving the Baggies in 2021, but appears keen to get involved in the Wrexham project under co-owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

The pair have overseen a remarkable transformation, resulting in a return to the Football League after 15 years away.

Even before a ball was kicked against Boreham Wood at the Racecourse on Saturday, the Euro 2016 icon had taken to social media to voice his interest in joining the Dragons, saying he was willing to donate any wages to charity.

When quizzed on his comments while on punditry duty for Sky Sports' coverage of West Brom v Sunderland on Sunday lunchtime, the 33-year-old once again reached out to the club's celebrity owners as he appeared to dismiss previous suggestions he had retired.

"Look Wrexham have done phenomenally well and massive credit to Ryan Reynolds and the whole team down there.

"From my perspective, being able to offer my services to the club, I'm in unique position, which is quite nice. I'm a free agent and I have been for the last two years.

"I've not officially announced my retirement, but again I'm 33 years of age. What they've done is fantastic. I'm happy to have a conversation and as I said, I'd be happy donate any salary I receive to charity as well."
