Jon Newby is now free to seek a new club

The former Bury forward, 28, arrived at the Racecourse Ground in August on a short-term deal as cover for injured pair Lee McEvilly and Juan Ugarte.

The former Liverpool trainee's rolling one-month contract with the Dragons came to an end on Thursday and he is now free to seek a new club.

Wrexham boss Denis Smith said: "Jon is a very good professional and I hope he gets fitted up (with a new club) soon."

Newby had hoped to win a new deal after being released by Bury last summer.

Until picking up a groin injury in a match against, ironically, the Shakers in early November, Newby had been a regular Wrexham squad member.

Although mainly being named on the bench, he also started two matches due to Wrexham's ongoing striker injury problems.
