Baker talks about transfer

Matt Baker, who signed a one-year deal at the Racecourse this morning, has revealed to the Wrexham Offical Website that one of his biggest games to date was playing against the Red Dragons in that FA Cup tie at Edgar Street.

"That is without doubt one of the highlights of my career," said the 24-year-old goalkeeper after putting pen to paper.

"I remember watching the video afterwards and seeing Denis Smith on the sidelines - looking none too pleased!

"But it was one of many happy memories I'll take from my time with Hereford, it was just such a pity that we couldn't get the club back into the Football League last season.

"I have been away over the summer with the England Semi-Pro and my last game was on June 9, so it was a long season.

"Now though I have had a bit of break and really looking forward to the challenge of competing for a place at Wrexham."

"Yes, other teams in the Football League were interested, including a big club in this division, but I think Wrexham play the type of football that suits me.

"Financially I would have been better off elsewhere, but I know of the manager here and Paul Parry was telling what a great atmosphere there was at the Racecourse for the Wales v Canada game. All these things helped me make up my mind."
