Port Vale first-team coach Gary Brabin has been linked with the vacant Wrexham manager’s job.

Brabin joined the Valiants earlier this season as a member of manager Neil Aspin’s new coaching set-up.

National League side Wrexham  lost their manager Dean Keates to Walsall after the League One side sacked Jon Whitley.

Brabin has management experience after spells in charge of Southport, Cambridge United, Luton Town and Tranmere Rovers.

In total, the 47 year-old has managed over 200 first-team games.

According to reports, Brabin is 3/1 joint second-favourite for the position.
