THE BIGGER PICTURE

But Wrexham is a very attractive club to come and play for and we’re working on getting the best players which are within our budget. It is an exciting club to be part of, there is no doubt about that. There’s the back-to-back promotions and people looking from afar can see we are a club progressing in the right direction. There’s a lot more growth to come and there’s players who want to be a part of that. It is my job and the staff’s job to select those players who can enhance that. We have already got a strong squad and the aim is to make it even more competitive by the time that the season starts.”</p>
