<\/p>\n

Wrexham have issued an apologetic response to\u00a0Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong after his transfer deadline day move failed to be completed. The club, which is co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, was unable to complete the necessary paperwork before the deadline and has since claimed they\u00a0won’t appeal against the decision.<\/p>\n

Armstrong was due to sign for the Welsh club after both teams agreed a club record transfer fee of\u00a0\u00a3500,000 late on deadline day. The clubs had announced the deal late in the evening before the 11 p.m. deadline.<\/p>\n

To both fans and the club’s disappointment the\u00a0English Football League (EFL) deemed that the deal could not be confirmed after the relevant documentation hadn’t been completed in time.<\/p>\n

Armstrong, who scored 16 goals in\u00a0League Two\u00a0last season, was forced to remain at Harrogate until the next transfer window – which opens in January.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following the ordeal Wrexham sought to lodge an appeal against the decision, but has since decided against taking action after deciding that they would be unlikely to be successful.<\/p>\n

“Having reviewed the additional information received from the EFL and considered this in the context of the submission of the documents for the transfer of Luke Armstrong from Harrogate Town, the Club have determined there is no reasonable chance of success if we were to appeal the EFL\u2019s decision to reject the transfer,” Wrexham said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Now this decision has been made, we wish to apologise to Luke as we were unable to complete the transfer by the deadline and Harrogate Town, who we are sure will be as disappointed as we are that the transfer will not now be completed in this window.\u00a0The Club will be reviewing the circumstances and processes that have led to this outcome with all the relevant parties.”<\/p>\n

The news will come as a blow to Wrexham fans with the club in need of a striker following Paul Mullin’s injury. The club’s top scorer last season, with\u00a046 goals, helped the team to a league title and gaining promotion back into the English football league.<\/p>\n

Mullin was injured during Wrexham’s pre-season tour of the United States during a friendly game against Manchester United. The forward was involved in a collision with former United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop and suffered a punctured lung.<\/p>\n

Mullin is expected to be out of action for several weeks, leaving Wrexham in short supply of attacking options to play alongside Ollie Palmer.\u00a0Phil Parkinson’s team faces Doncaster in League Two next on Saturday.<\/p>\n
