Dom Hyam, a former Coventry City defender, will be watching his old club lift the Championship trophy this Sunday. Having spent five seasons with the Sky Blues, he joined Wrexham in September 2025 after a spell at Blackburn. Hyam’s presence at the CBS Arena adds a personal edge to the match this day.

Hyam’s 200‑plus appearances for Coventry included a Wembley play‑off win in 2018, a moment he recalls fondly. Now, with Wrexham still sixth in the Championship and two games left, he stresses the need for focus. The club faces a decisive trip to Coventry followed by a home clash with Middlesbrough later this week.

Hyam also eyes international recognition, with a recent Scotland cap boosting his profile. Manager Phil Parkinson believes consistent performances could earn him a place in Steve Clarke’s World Cup squad. For now, Hyam’s priority remains solid defensive displays, fitness, and guiding Wrexham toward a play‑off berth in the coming season as they push.

With Coventry aiming to celebrate a 25‑year absence ended, Hyam’s dual perspective offers a narrative of redemption. Wrexham’s late‑season push will test depth and resolve. The outcome of Sunday’s encounter could dictate the club’s trajectory, while Hyam’s personal ambition remains clear: help Wrexham join the Premier League for the season in the big.
