Phil Parkinson: Freedom of Wrexham award made club’s impact ‘hit home’

Advertisements

Wrexham became the first ever side to secure three consecutive promotions in the English Football League (EFL) under Parkinson earlier this year.

But the manager has regularly echoed the sentiments of owners Reynolds and McElhenney that the club must remain integral to the local community.

His award comes after the Hollywood pair were given the Freedom of Wrexham in 2023, just two years after their takeover of the Stok Cae Ras club was officially ratified.

“We are at the heart of the community, the football club is all about that long before we came, how important the football is to the community,” added Parkinson.

“Rob and Ryan’s understanding of that is incredibly well received. All along, we’ve stressed that it comes from the top that as much as Wrexham has got a global appeal, the most important thing is the local businesses, the local people who have supported the club through some tough times and feel that connection.

“I feel that that’s been achieved and long may it continue.”
