Wrexham AFC captain James McClean says the players will welcome All White Liberato Cacace with open arms, if the New Zealand defender completes a reported move to the Welsh club.
The two previously crossed paths when the All Whites and the Republic of Ireland battled out a 1-1 draw in 2023.
“In my last ever Ireland game, we played New Zealand and he played that night,” McClean told Breakfast.
“I know he did quite well at [Italian side] Empoli last season, but I wouldn’t say I know very much more than that."
Mclean said he looks forward to the competition new players at the club bring.
“This club’s moving forward all the time - the more you go up the divisions, the better players you’re going to sign.
“If he does sign, we’ll welcome him with open arms like we always do, and we’ll relish the competition for places because it’s only healthy.”

Cacace previously played for the Wellington Phoenix, adding an extra level of intrigue ahead of their pre-season friendly tomorrow.

“It was incredible, we got to see and embrace the culture here.
“For me, it was a great experience to see the haka up close and personal for the first time here.”

He admitted he was still surprised by the global level of support the Welsh club has generated.
“Obviously, we know the support in America, given the owners and where they’re from, but to come over here and see the fanbase and the support and how big it is, it just shows you where this club is at.
