Zak Vyner says the new Championship season feels like a "clean slate" given his injury issues after joining Wrexham during the winter window last term.
The 29-year-old moved to north Wales from Bristol City midway through the 2025-26 campaign but arrived at the Racecourse Ground with a toe injury.
Having broken into Phil Parkinson's side, Vyner then sustained a hamstring issue and missed the final five games of the Championship season.
But Vyner says he is eagerly awaiting the new league campaign after enjoying a first pre-season with the club.
"It's like a clean slate, I fresh feel and ready to go," he said.
"I came in and had a couple of injuries last season, which is abnormal for me anyway.
"So I was just dealing with that and then coming back in and playing in a somewhat unfamiliar position as well.
"But I'm feeling now that I'm ready, bedding in with the lads a little bit more and settling in to the place, setting in to everything at the football club, so I'm really looking forward to what the season has in store for me."
Vyner was deployed in midfield in the latter stages of last season as Wrexham lost the likes of Ben Sheaf and Matty James to injury and George Dobson to suspension.
But he operated in a back three during pre-season, and Vyner believes fans will see his best form now that he has reverted to his preferred role at centre-back.
"It's my most comfortable position, so I feel more at home there," he added.
"It doesn't say that if I have to play in centre-mid that I wouldn't do it or anything like that. I'd give 100% whenever I play on the pitch anywhere, up front, anywhere.
"But I feel more comfortable at centre-half, so hopefully we can see the best version of me there and hopefully that works for us."
