"I'm delighted to have Anthony with us," said Altrincham FC manager Neil Gibson.
"Obviously he's played at a much higher level over the last few years, has a very strong playing CV and been part of a very successful Wrexham side, winning National League and League Two promotions.
"He'll bring that experience, as well as leadership qualities, into the group and his creative ability down the right side will give us more options. He's the type of player we want to bring into the building, with that large amount of EFL experience, he's a fantastic signing for the football club and we're delighted to get him over the line."
