Wrexham Strengthens with Liberato Cacace for the New Season

Wrexham continues to strengthen its squad for next season, with the aim of promotion. The team has announced the incorporation of the New Zealand international defender Liberato Cacace, coming from Empoli of Italy. The club made Cacace’s signing official on Friday, with a three-year contract. According to reports in the British media, the transfer exceeds the previous record of the Welsh club, which was 2 million pounds sterling for Sam Smith in January. Cacace, 24 years old, arrives at Wrexham after three seasons at Empoli, following the team’s relegation from Serie A last season. He joins a Wrexham that has achieved three consecutive promotions under the direction of its co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, reaching the Championship, the second English division.

Cacace also commented: “From the outside, what they are creating here is something I want to be a part of. The family they have here, it’s a very close-knit club and that attracted me. I had a great phone call with the coach, and after that I really wanted to sign.” The signing comes as Wrexham undertakes its pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand, where they will play against Wellington Phoenix in the New Zealand capital on Saturday. Cacace, who began his career at Wellington, has played 33 matches for the New Zealand national team.

We are delighted to welcome Libby to Wrexham and look forward to integrating him with the team upon our return home.
