Wrexham man poised for switch to National League promotion hopefuls

Wrexham attacker Billy Waters is poised for a move to Oldham Athletic, as per journalist Pete O’Rourke on X.
Wrexham are set to cut ties with the forward again this winter. He has spent the first-half of this season on loan at FC Halifax Town in the National League.
Waters, 30, scored five goals in 18 games in all competitions for the Yorkshire outfit. His loan deal at The Shay has recently ended and he returned to the Racecourse Ground.
In this latest update regarding his situation in Wales, reporter O’Rourke has claimed on X that Oldham Athletic have ‘agreed’ a deal to land the player. It remains to be seen at this stage whether it will be a temporary or permanent switch.
Wrexham are currently sat in 3rd place in the League One table behind Birmingham City and Wycombe Wanderers and beat Peterborough United 1-0 at home last time out.
Wrexham’s Billy Waters to join Oldham Athletic
Waters’ contract at Wrexham expires at the end of this campaign and he is due to become a free agent as things stand.
He was given the green light to link up with FC Halifax Town in August to get some game time.
Their boss Chris Millington was tight-lipped on his future last month and said, as per Halifax Courier: “We won’t know until January, and that’s largely going to depend on what Wrexham choose to do, what Billy chooses to do and unfortunately, thirdly, what we want to do.”
Waters moved to Wales back in 2023 to bolster Wrexham’s attacking department.
He has since only played eight games for the Red Dragons and was also shipped out to Doncaster Rovers last term.
The Epsom-born man has had spells in the past at Crewe Alexandra, Northampton Town, Cheltenham Town, Torquay United and Barrow.
He played for the latter before his transfer to Wrexham and found the net on nine occasions in 38 outings.
What next for Wrexham man Billy Waters?
Letting Waters go to Oldham Athletic would suit all parties involved.
It hasn’t worked out for him at Wrexham and they can’t promise him minutes.
Oldham Athletic are looking to return to the Football League under the guidance of former Tranmere Rovers manager Micky Mellon.
The Red Dragons are back in action on Thursday night with an away trip to face rivals Shrewsbury Town as they look to keep their momentum going.
