New Wrexham signing George Dobson reveals how agreed contract with Hungarian side before being tempted to join Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's project

The 26-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-signing-league-one-rival-captain-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-third-transfer-summer/blte49786bdd83347d9" target="_blank">signed for League One new boys Wrexham</a> last month but the midfielder had penned a pre-contract agreement to join Fehervar in January. However, although Charlton allegedly weren't prepared to offer the club captain a more lucrative contract, Nathan Jones's team pulled the plug on a transfer earlier this year and now, the rest is history.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wrexham-george-dobson-efl-charlton-33420936" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>: "It was in January time [talks started]. I was really happy at Charlton at the time, but I was offered what I was told was a squad player's deal because that was how [the club] saw me going forward. I was club captain at the time and obviously I didn't want to sign that."I then got a really good offer from Fehervar and it was a hard one to turn down with a young family so I signed a pre-contract. That was for the summer but the Hungarian window was still open in February. They agreed a deal to move there and then but after Charlton lost a game, Nathan Jones pulled the plug and said I wasn't going anywhere."
