After four years in Wales, Pearson has returned to Grimsby to again link up with Hurst.
"I was very close (to signing a new Wrexham contract),” he told grimsby-town.co.uk.
“I had not even spoken to the gaffer at that point but has been a crazy, crazy few days and people say you should never be surprised in football but this week has definitely surprised me!
