JESSE LINGARD has been urged to have “one last rodeo” in English football and join an EFL club after leaving FC Seoul.
The 33-year-old former Manchester United star spent two seasons two seasons in South Korea but his contract was terminated in December.
Lingard is now without a team and former United striker Dwight Yorke tipped the ex-England international to join Wrexham in the Championship.
Yorke told PokerScout: “Jesse is an interesting character. I’ve always kept an eye on him due to the United connection.
“I really don’t know what his priority is right now, but he still obviously wants to play football and at the Championship level, there’s no question he’d be an asset.
“If he were to go to Wrexham, that wouldn’t be a surprise either. Maybe he feels it’s time to come back home to be closer to his daughter and help Wrexham get promoted to the Premier League.
“That could be one last rodeo for him, and I’ve experienced the advantages of joining a Championship team.
“I did it at Sunderland when they were 23rd, and we got promoted as champions.
“It can be done, and it’s a way to get Jesse back to a level I’m sure he’s craving. I would certainly consider it.
“Wrexham are a very ambitious team with wealthy backers, making good progress and currently sitting mid-table in the Championship.”

Wrexham – owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – sit ninth in the Championship progressed from non-league.
Lingard scored 18 goals in 66 FC Seoul games – signing from Nottingham Forest – and now looks for his next step.
Yorke added: “I would tell Jesse to look at it, as I’m a prime example that it’s possible.
“When it’s done, it’s a fantastic achievement and before you know it, you’re playing Premier League football again when you thought it was all doom and gloom. I encourage him to look at it.”
