Wrexham were fined £75,000 by the English Football League, with £25,000 suspended, after two incidents of fielding ineligible players this season. The EFL ruled that Issa Kabore and Callum O'Hare were ineligible to feature in Wrexham's games against Birmingham and Millwall respectively.
The two incidents
Kabore came off the bench in Wrexham's 2-1 defeat by Birmingham City on 28 August, despite his Home Office 'right to work' documents not being correctly uploaded. Kabore had returned to Wrexham on the eve of the contest with Birmingham, signing a three-year deal. O'Hare, having joined from Sheffield United the day before, was an unused substitute in Wrexham's 3-0 win at Millwall on 2 September, though his documentation was not uploaded in time.
Club statement
A club statement read: "We can confirm that Wrexham AFC has reached an agreed decision with the EFL concerning two breaches relating to player eligibility."
The Wrexham statement added: "The club is taking the appropriate steps to prevent such issues occurring in the future."
Further measures and responsibility
BBC Sport reported that Wrexham are understood to be actively improving measures at the club to avoid future issues. BBC Sport reported that Wrexham are thought to be hiring a club secretary in addition to improving administrative training.
A club official told BBC Sport Wales that the incidents involving Kabore and O'Hare were not the fault of boss Phil Parkinson, the club's coaching staff or new sporting director Steve Nickson. Steve Nickson was not officially appointed to his role until 7 September.
