Wrexham is set to appoint Steve Nickson as its sporting director, according to reports from The Athletic and BBC Sport. The move would see Nickson leave his current position at Newcastle United, where he works in recruitment. BBC Sport reports that he is poised to depart Newcastle to take up the role at the Championship club Wrexham. The Athletic adds that Nickson has spent roughly 15 years at Newcastle, holding a range of roles during that time. The reports indicate that Nickson’s appointment will bring experience from Newcastle’s recruitment and broader football operations. No details are provided across the sources on the timing of his start date, the length of the contract, or the specific responsibilities of the role beyond the sporting director title. Both outlets present the appointment as imminent, framing it as a transfer of a senior figure within Newcastle’s football structure to Wrexham’s leadership team.
