Phil Parkinson: Red Dragons manager to receive Freedom of Wrexham

Phil Parkinson will officially receive the Freedom of the Wrexham County Borough today.

The Wrexham manager has overseen three successive promotions since taking charge of the north Wales club in the summer of 2021.

On the back of the Red Dragons’ promotion into the Championship last year, councillors unanimously voted in favour of Parkinson being handed the honour.

Speaking in advance of the ceremony, Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales: “It’s an amazing honour for myself and my family to be given that award and I look forward to going down there on Tuesday.

“One of the key parts of this job and being part of this story over the last five years is the impact on the local community.

“I’ve enjoyed being a part of that and meeting people in the business world around the town and it’s a real honour for me to be down there on Tuesday.”

Parkinson will sign official documents at Wrexham Guildhall in a ceremony at 15:00 BST.
