Cacace, who plays as a left-back, spent three seasons with Italian club Empoli, before the team were relegated from Serie A this past season.

The 33-game New Zealand international recently captained the All Whites to a place at the FIFA World Cup with a win over New Caledonia.

Cacace will look to play an important role in the Red Dragons’ first EFL Championship campaign in more than 40 years. Wrexham have earned back-to-back-to-back promotions after starting in non-league football.

The new season starts on Sunday, August 10 (NZ Time) against Southampton.
