Goalkeeper Rob Lainton has signed a one-year contract extension with Wrexham until at least the end of the 2023/24 season.
The new deal includes an appearance-related extension for a further season.
Lainton, 33, made his first league appearance in 11 months on Tuesday having recovered from a career-threatening wrist injury.
"I'm really pleased to have signed my contract extension," he said.
"The supporters were great with me on my return to the team, and after a difficult year I'm really looking forward to extending my stay here at the Racecourse Ground."
Cheshire-born Lainton first signed for Wrexham on loan from Port Vale in 2018, with the deal being converted to a permanent move four months later.
In March 2022 he dislocated a wrist during a National League game at Bromley prompting fears that he would not be able to play again.
"We're pleased Rob has signed a contract extension for another year," said Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
"He's had a long road back from his injury, but he's always kept his spirits up - even when he's not been in the team, he's been an excellent squad member and it's been good to see him back to his best."
Wrexham have signed Solihull Moors winger Ryan Barnett for an undisclosed fee subject to league approval.
The 23-year-old joins the National League promotion chasers until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Barnett began his career at Shrewsbury Town, and helped Solihull Moors reach the National League play-off final last season - which they lost to Grimsby.
"I know what a huge club Wrexham is and I knew I couldn't turn that chance down," said Barnett.
"You look at the quality Wrexham have, and the strength in depth, it's something I really wanted to challenge myself with.
"The goal is promotion. Simple as. I want to come in and give my best, but the main aim is to get this club back to where they want to be."
Barnett has also spent time on loan with AFC Telford United and Gloucester City.
"I'm pleased to welcome Ryan to the club," said Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
"He's an exciting young player and will be a strong addition to the first-team squad."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
