Fleetwood Town have signed former Wrexham midfielder Andy Cannon on a three-year deal.

Cannon, 30, who was released by the Welsh club at the end of last season, has clocked up 330 senior appearances for clubs including Rochdale, Portsmouth, Hull City and Stockport County.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Burton Albion.

Cannon told the Fleetwood website what attracted him to the League Two club and he said: "The gaffer wants to be successful, so do I. He's got ambitions, I've got ambitions. I feel we can work together and hopefully have a successful season."

A product of Rochdale's academy, Cannon made his first-team debut in 2014 before going on to establish himself as a key figure at Spotland.

He moved to Portsmouth in January 2019, where he spent two years before joining Championship side Hull.

In December 2022, Cannon completed a move to Wrexham and played an important role during one of the club's most successful periods, helping them achieve three consecutive promotions, from the National League to the Championship.
