"Coming to Wrexham helped, and I have thanked Denis Smith for giving me the chance to play," he told the Wrexham Evening Leader.

"When I was at Plymouth on loan, I knew I had the ability but never had the chance, making two league starts and 10 as a substitute.

"The manager who brought me in knew I could play but I did not get the opportunity under the new manager.

"However, Denis Smith gave me a chance and I showed what I can do. I really enjoyed it at Wrexham.

"The fans were great with and so was everyone at the club. I was delighted with my goal-scoring record with Wrexham, and I'm happy with what I achieved."
