Netted: Wrexham boss Brian Little has added another new face
Wrexham have snapped up Shrewsbury Town defender Darran Kempson as they prepare for their first tilt at the Blue Square Premier.
Kempson agreed to join Brian Little's new-look squad after being told by Shrews boss Paul Simpson that he did not figure in his plans.
The former Crewe centre-back, 23, did not travel with Shrewsbury to their pre-season training trip to Spain.
Kempson previously played at Blue Square level during loan spells with Morecambe and Accrington Stanley.
