The former England international goalkeeper, Ben Foster, has come out of retirement to rejoin Wrexham AFC after over 17 years. His first spell at the club came in 2005 when they were playing in League One, the third tier of English soccer. He won the Football League Trophy with the club.
With an injury to the first-choice goalkeeper, Rob Lainton, the club owners, approached the veteran, and he joined the club. The eyes of the fans will be on whether Foster starts in the game against York City.
