Andy Dibble is backing son Christian to make a big impact at Wrexham.

The 23-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the Reds and although he is likely to begin the campaign as understudy to Chris Dunn, former Wales international stopper Andy believes his young apprentice can make it into an established number one.

Andy says Christian is determined to make the most of his move to The Racecourse and try to force his way into the side.

“I said to Christian he has got to go for it after he spoke with Dean Keates,” said Dibble.

“This is the next progression for him and I think he can do well for Wrexham.

“He has played in around the Conference, I think he played 27 games on the trot for Nuneaton last season but he made a mistake in a cup game against York and was made a scapegoat.

“It happens and it will probably help him. Out of adversity you get stronger.

“He has got all the attributes. I am not just saying it because he is my son, he just needs someone to believe in him.

“He has just got to try and get in the Wrexham team and hopefully it happens.”
