The 39-year-old Foster, who was also an England
international, last played for Watford before stepping away from the game last
year. He signed a deal until the end of the season.
Foster had a loan spell at the Welsh club, which currently
plays in the fifth tier of English soccer, in 2005.
Wrexham has gained global recognition since being taken over
by Reynolds and McElhenney and featuring in a television series that streams
worldwide.
“It’s changed a lot since I was last here, but it’s nice to
be back and it’s nice to be back as a player, too,” Foster said Thursday. “It
will be interesting to see how my body feels after training today.
“The first time I was here, it was genuinely the springboard
to the rest of my career.”
Wrexham is aiming for promotion to England’s fourth division
this season, but will be without keeper Rob Lainton, who faces six weeks out
with knee ligament injury.
“We’re delighted to welcome Ben to the club,” Wrexham
manager Phil Parkinson said. “With Rob Lainton getting injured at the weekend,
it was important we had all bases covered going into the last part of the
season, which this signing ensures.” -AP
