Wrexham have been fined £75,000 – of which £25,000 is suspended – by the English Football League (EFL) after two incidents of fielding ineligible players this season.

The EFL ruled that Issa Kabore was ineligible to feature in Wrexham’s 2-1 defeat by Birmingham City on 28 August as his ‘right to work’ documents required by the Home Office had not been correctly uploaded.

The second breach relates to Callum O’Hare, who was listed among the substitutes for Wrexham’s 3-0 win at Millwall on 2 September.

Although O’Hare did not feature off the bench, the 28-year-old’s documentation was not uploaded in time for him to be involved against the Lions.

Attacking midfielder O’Hare joined the club from Sheffield United on transfer deadline day, the day before the league fixture at The Den.

A club statement read: “We can confirm that Wrexham AFC has reached an agreed decision with the EFL concerning two breaches relating to player eligibility.”

Burkina Faso international Kabore spent last season on loan with Wrexham but made his move from Manchester City permanent in the summer.

He returned to the Racecourse Ground on the eve of the contest with Birmingham, signing a three-year deal with the north Wales side.

The 25-year-old has featured 10 times in the Championship so far this season.

O’Hare also put pen to paper on a three-year contract with Wrexham in the summer after opting to leave Sheffield United.

Wrexham – currently 17th in the second tier after 12 games – are understood to be actively improving measures at the club to avoid future issues.

They are thought to be hiring a club secretary in addition to improving administrative training.

A club official told BBC Sport Wales that the incidents involving Kabore and O’Hare were no fault of boss Phil Parkinson, the club’s coaching staff or new sporting director Steve Nickson – who was not officially appointed to his role until 7 September.

The Wrexham statement added: “The club is taking the appropriate steps to prevent such issues occurring in the future.”
