Wrexham have set a new transfer record by signing Ipswich striker Nathan Broadhead for up to £10m.
The 27-year-old Wales international has signed a four-year deal with SToK Cae Ras, which is subject to international clearance.

Bangor-born Broadhead played in Wrexham's youth academy before joining Everton aged 10.
Wrexham have improved their transfer record on several occasions since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over the club in 2021.
Lewis O'Brien signed for Nottingham Forest last month in a £3m deal. The midfielder is one of several Sky Bet Championship newcomers on whom Wrexham have spent heavily ahead of their first campaign in English football's second tier in 43 years.
Broadhead became Wrexham's ninth signing since the club's relegation from League One last season.
He has made 14 appearances for Wales, scoring two goals, and will join his international team-mates Danny Ward and Kieffer Moore at SToK Cae Ras.
