Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed pride in his team's achievements this season, having finished above established clubs like Leicester City, Birmingham City, and Watford. Despite this success, Parkinson emphasized the team's hunger to progress further during their upcoming match against Middlesbrough. The Welsh club has secured three successive promotions since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took control in 2021, ending a 15-year exile from the Football League.

Parkinson revealed escaping the National League was the most pressure he experienced at the club. The owners have supported gradual development without imposing promotion targets. Wrexham will be boosted by the return of Ben Sheaf from medial ligament damage, while Liberato Cacace is available for the crucial encounter with Middlesbrough this weekend.

Winter signing Zak Vyner remains sidelined with a groin injury. The club has stated the 2025-26 season will be considered a success regardless of Premier League promotion. Their focus remains on achieving another step forward in their remarkable journey since the Hollywood takeover, with their current position already exceeding expectations.
