Wrexham’s board, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney are drafting transfer plans, and Phil Parkinson acknowledges that some “players moving on” will occur. After introducing Hollywood co-owners to North Wales in 2021, the Red Dragons have frequently made roster changes. With League One football scheduled for 2024–2025, astute recruitment has helped them to clinch back-to-back promotions.
After the upcoming season, Parkinson’s roster will be altered since nine players are out of contract and others may be cut to make room for new players. Regarding such approach, the well-liked manager of Wrexham said: The difficult aspect of managing a team is dealing with the potential for players to leave, but we also understand that our organization needs to change, and we’ll work to do that. However, as I just mentioned to the guys in the locker room, the guys outside of the squad and the dressing room have been crucial to our success this season. You know, the professionalism has been exceptional, even with Ben Tozer—who hasn’t played much lately—and. Amazing, he’s motivated the team. Undoubtedly, choices must be taken, and we shall do so in a just and truthful manner.
When questioned more about the goals Wrexham has for the upcoming transfer window, Parkinson responded, “Obviously improve the squad.” Everything gets better as you move up the divisions: quality, preparation, and athleticism. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us during the summer, but we’ll sit down, as we have in the past, take our time, and make the proper decisions to give ourselves a chance to be competitive next season. We will improve whatever we need to.
