Entering his sixth campaign in charge of Wrexham, manager Phil Parkinson is focused on building upon the club’s progress from the previous year as they prepare for the 2026-27 promotion push. The team secured their highest league finish last season, ending seventh and narrowly missing a play-off spot on the final day. Parkinson expressed that while the division was challenging, the group demonstrated significant growth.
The squad recently returned from an American pre-season tour, facing top-tier opponents like Manchester United and Liverpool. Despite the travel fatigue, Parkinson believes the time spent together was vital for integrating new faces before their Carabao Cup opener against Middlesbrough. The manager has bolstered his roster with the additions of full-back Danny Imray from Crystal Palace and midfielder Ben Whiteman from Preston North End.
Looking ahead to the September transfer deadline, Parkinson admits the squad is still a work in progress and remains active in the transfer market to ensure they remain competitive. Regarding reports linking George Dobson to Sheffield Wednesday, the manager confirmed that Wrexham has received no formal offers for the midfielder.
