Birmingham beat Wrexham to the League One title last season, but it is the Welsh club who have splashed the cash ahead of the new season with six summer signings and Wales striker Nathan Broad-head reportedly set to join the Red Dragons in a record club £7.5 million transfer from Ipswich.

“We've got to (Keep spending)” NFL quarterback great and Birmingham shareholder Brady told The Sports Agents podcast.

“We've got to keep up with one another. Wrexham have, I'd say, done an incredible job. I mean, you can’t be anything but excited about what they've done for that club... I’m so impressed by Wrexham.

“What they do on the pitch, off the pitch, and again, they're in a great position to succeed as well.”
