FORMER Town striker Jon Newby, pictured, has left Wrexham by mutual consent.

The ex-Bury player, 28, arrived at the Racecourse Ground in August on a short-term deal as cover for injured pair Lee McEvilly and Juan Ugarte.

The former Liverpool trainee's rolling one-month contract with the Dragons came to an end yesterday and he is now free to seek a new club.

Wrexham boss Denis Smith said: "Jon is a very good professional and I hope he gets fitted up with a new club soon."

Until picking up a groin injury in a match against Bury in early November, Newby had been a regular Wrexham squad member.
