Wrexham, managed by Phil Parkinson, sit third in the fourth tier following Friday’s 3-1 loss at Walsall as they attempt to secure back-to-back promotions after winning the National League.
“We’re delighted we’ve agreed deals with Paul and Elliot. They are two really key players for the club moving forward,” Parkinson told the club website.
“There’s always a lot of talk going into a transfer window, but the most important thing is to keep hold of your best players – they are two very important signings for us.”
