Wrexham have signed Hull City winger Ryan Longman for an undisclosed fee.
Longman has signed a deal until the end of the 2026-27 season with the option of an additional year.
He watched his new club draw 1-1 at home to Birmingham City on Thursday evening.
"I'm really looking forward to being a part of this journey. I came to watch the game last night and the atmosphere was incredible," Longman said.
Longman came through the ranks at Brighton & Hove Albion before joining Hull City on a permanent deal in the summer of 2022 after a season-long loan with The Tigers.
The 24-year-old scored four goals in 62 league appearances for Hull City and spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Championship rivals Millwall.
He is Wrexham's first signing of the January transfer window and manager Phil Parkinson said: "We're delighted to bring Ryan to the Club.
"He's an exciting young player and I'm really looking forward to working with him."
Wrexham striker Jack Marriott and wing-back Jacob Mendy have signed new contracts with the League One club.
Marriott, 30, joined Wrexham for an undisclosed fee from Fleetwood Town in January 2024, and his current deal was due to expire at the end of the season.
Mendy, 28, was signed from Boreham Wood in August 2022 and has scored six goals in over 70 appearances for Wrexham.
Both payers have signed deals until the end of the 2025-26 season with the option of an additional year.
A back-to-back promotion winner with Wrexham, Mendy, said: "I'm delighted to stay here, and I really appreciate all of the people that believe in me.
"I can't wait to play and hopefully do well for the team."
He began his career in Atletico Madrid's academy and had spells with Carshalton Athletic and Wealdstone.
Mendy has has won three caps for The Gambia and made his debut against Ivory Coast in a World Cup qualifier in 2024.
Beverly-born Marriott has scored five goals for Wrexham in League One this season but has not played since October after he suffered a broken leg in training.
Marriott made his comeback as a second half substitute in Wrexham's 2-1 defeat at Shrewsbury Town and was on the bench for Thursday's 1-1 draw at home to Birmingham City.
"I'm really grateful that the Club have agreed the deal. I'm really pleased to extend my stay here and it's a really happy time for me and my family," Marriott said.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "He's come back in really good shape and that's a credit to him and the medical team as well,"
"Of course a little bit more work is needed to get ready to start a game but each day he's looking stronger.
"Jack got five goals early in the season and he was really on top of his game.
"It's like having a new signing – he's fresh, he's ready and he's determined to play his part."
Marriott began his career at Ipswich Town before a move to Luton, where he was the club's top scorer in his first season.

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