'Only one place I wanted to come'

Keillor Dunn has spoken of his joy at returning to Wrexham: "If there’s one club that’s calling, it’s Wrexham you want to go to. When I heard of the interest and spoke to the manager, there was only one place I wanted to come - and that was back here. There was something that made me think in my heart that I would probably come back here. The way the Club is progressing at the minute, there’s no better time to come. Just to get in the building and through the door, I can’t tell you how happy I am.”
