But he has put pen to paper and will join the Red Dragons after receiving international clearance.
Fletcher said on joining the club: “Hopefully I can bring a lot of experience. I’m 36, still fit and can’t wait.
“One of the biggest selling points was the ambition of the club, and if I can help with that, then great.
“I think you can’t help but see what’s happening at Wrexham – it’s been a great experience for the fans, players and owners so hopefully we can keep it going.”
Fletcher scored ten goals in 39 games for Dundee United last season and has spent the previous 13 years playing in the Premier League and EFL.
The former Scotland international played for Hibernian, Burnley and Sunderland and played 12 games on loan at Marseille in 2016, scoring twice.
Spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke followed before he was back over the limit.
Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson is delighted to welcome Fletcher to North Wales after missing out on Harrogate’s Luke Armstrong.

He said: “I’m really pleased with the addition of Steve to the squad. He missed football during the pre-season but he trained with the boys today and it’s good to have him around.
“His pedigree speaks for itself and he has played at a very high level for most of his career. He is a great professional and that is very important for him to fit into this group.”
Wrexham sent documents to the EFL to complete Armstrong’s signing but the move fell through as the paperwork was not submitted in time.
