Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson can now “start planning” for the club’s next chapter following their recent promotion and the sudden departure of midfielder Ollie Rathbone. With the club securing back-to-back promotions and preparing for life in League One, Parkinson has been given the green light by the board to begin assembling a squad capable of competing at a higher level. The manager, who has been praised for his steady leadership and tactical discipline, is expected to take an active role in identifying key transfer targets ahead of pre-season.
Parkinson’s plans are believed to focus on strengthening the midfield and adding depth to the defensive line, especially following Rathbone’s exit. The club’s American owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have also reportedly reaffirmed their full backing of Parkinson, ensuring the manager has the resources to build a competitive squad.
Speaking after the season’s end, Parkinson emphasized the importance of “smart recruitment” and maintaining the strong team spirit that’s defined Wrexham’s recent success. With promotion now secured and expectations higher than ever, the focus shifts to sustaining momentum. Pre-season planning is already underway, with player evaluations, training schedules, and scouting efforts being ramped up to meet the demands of League One football.
