Striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson says it was a “no-brainer” to sign for Wrexham on a short-term contract.
Bodvarsson, 32, has joined the League One side until January on a free transfer after being released by Bolton Wanderers last summer.
The Iceland international made his Wrexham debut as a second-half substitute during the shock FA Cup defeat away to League Two team Harrogate Town.
“It was really a no-brainer for me. I’ve been in Iceland since I became a free agent, just keeping fit and training with my local team that I grew up with,” said Bodvarsson.
“Fitness-wise, I don’t feel too far off it. It’s just getting the minutes now in the tank, that was a huge positive [against Harrogate] to get minutes back in the tank because it has been a while. It’s about getting the sharpness back and it’ll come.”
Wrexham sit third in League One after 13 games and are looking for a third consecutive promotion under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
“It’s just exciting football-wise, what the club is doing,” Bodvarsson added.
“Since I came here, the standard has been really high and the environment is really positive as a football player.
“That’s what I was most excited for, you have all the noise around the club at the moment, which is positive, but first and foremost it’s just great to be back in competitive football again.
“I know what I can do. For these three months it’s about getting the sharpness back and enjoying myself again and hopefully expressing myself on the pitch the best I can.”
