Bristol City can confirm Zak Vyner has joined Wrexham for an undisclosed fee, bringing an end to a 20-year association with the club.<\/p>\n

Vyner joined the club\u2019s Academy in 2006 and has made 264 appearances for the Robins.<\/p>\n

Progressing through the academy ranks, Vyner made his City debut in a 2-0 Championship win over MK Dons in February 2016.<\/p>\n

Loans spells with Accrington Stanley, Plymouth Argyle, Rotherham United and Aberdeen followed in the seasons after before becoming a regular member of the City side in the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n

In the 2022\/23 season Vyner was named Players\u2019 Player of the Year by his teammates, a demonstration of his growth as a player.<\/p>\n

He was an ever-present in defence last season, as City secured a spot in the Sky Bet Championship Play-offs for the first time since 2008.<\/p>\n

In October 2025, Vyner made his 219th Championship appearance for City, setting a new club record, surpassing the total reached by Marvin Elliot.<\/p>\n

After two decades with the club, the 28-year-old has also been committed to the club\u2019s work in the local community, supporting the Robins Foundation with a host of visits across the city.<\/p>\n

Jon Lansdown praised Vyner\u2019s development as a player and as a person in his time at Ashton Gate, adding: \u201cIt\u2019s a rare feat that you get a player playing their entire career at one club and with Zak, he hasn\u2019t quite done that but he has been a professional here for over a decade, with nearly another decade in the academy before that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a joy to watch Zak\u2019s rise from the academy to our record Championship appearance holder which is a testament to his hard work and resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has represented the club and the community in an exemplary way during that time and we wish him the very best for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On departing the club, Vyner said: \u201cI\u2019ve been on this journey with you since I was eight. I never imagined it would go this far. It\u2019s been an honour to represent you, and I\u2019m so proud to have worn the shirt so many times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many people I want to thank and acknowledge, starting with Steve and Jon for your trust in me throughout.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all the staff that make Bristol City so special and make going into train every day so great. To all the academy coaches I\u2019ve had, I wouldn\u2019t be here without you.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all my managers and coaches, I\u2019ve learned lessons from all of you. A special message to the gaffer, Gerhard Struber, it\u2019s been a privilege to play for you these past few months. The energy, confidence, and belief you\u2019ve shown me I will always carry with me.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo every one of my teammates, it\u2019s been a pleasure to share a dressing room. We\u2019ve made so many special memories together on and off the pitch and I\u2019ve got friends for life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd finally, the fans. We\u2019ve had our ups and downs, but we\u2019ve shared so many amazing moments together. And I\u2019m one of you now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club wish Zak all the best for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bristol City can confirm Zak Vyner has joined Wrexham for an undisclosed fee, bringing an end to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,18228,748,393,4884,16,15,217404],"class_list":{"0":"post-736089","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-bristol-city","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-zak-vyner"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
