Steven Defour.
Steven Defour has left KV Mechelen by "mutual agreement". It comes on the back of their cup defeat on penalties to Knokke, a third tier amateur team. They were also 3rd from bottom of the league.

Liam is a massive Claret, so for me Wrexham have 3 Clarets in the squad. The set-up looks amazing.
