Wrexham loan striker Stuart Nicholson has revealed that he rejected an approach from Gretna to join the Red Dragons.
The 20-year-old West Bromwich Albion frontman opted to join Wrexham's fight for Football League survival and made his debut in the 1-0 win over MK Dons at the weekend.
Nicholson told the Daily Post: "I was up in Scotland because I was going to sign for Gretna until the end of the season.
"But they had to get rid of a couple of lads first and, because I want to play first-team football as soon as possible, I decided not to hang around once I knew Wrexham were in for me.
"It's going to be a big challenge, but there is basically a new side here now and it's a new start for everyone."
