Fletcher joined Wrexham last summerHelped them get promoted to League OneStriker says he's made 'mates for life' hereWHAT HAPPENED?
The veteran forward joined the Red Dragons last summer as a free agent and went onto score eight goals as they earned promotion to League One last month. The 37-year-old has played for Burnley, Wolves, Sunderland, Marseille, and more, but said the bond his current team-mates have is up there with the best he's seen.

He said, via The Leader: "I have really enjoyed this season, it has been fantastic. It has been great getting to play with the boys. It is an absolute great dressing room, one of the best I have been in. I know it is easy for me to say because of what we have done but on a personal level, the lads, the friendships and the bond I have made has been great. Honestly, you couldn't have asked for a better changing room to come into, especially at this stage of my career. A few of the lads will be mates for life."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite being in the twilight stage of his career, Wrexham clearly value the former Scotland international's presence at the club; evidenced by the striker being offered a contract extension at SToK Cae Ras. He has plenty of experience in top European leagues, so his nous and quality may be invaluable in League One.

After enjoying a trip out to Las Vegas with the Wrexham squad – something that was paid for by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – Fletcher and his team-mates will now enjoy their summer breaks, but will report back for pre-season late next month.
