More funds will be required in the next window, with Wrexham aware that they are no longer in a position to outspend EFL rivals. There is plenty of quality on their books, but movement in and out of SToK Racecourse is expected over the coming weeks.
WHAT PARKINSON SAID
Parkinson admits as much, telling of his hopes for the summer: “How can we go? I think League One is a bigger jump than going from National League to League Two, so we’ve got a big test in this summer, we really have. We’ve got to recruit well, we’ve got to maintain the spirit we’ve built over the last two years, but whilst always being honest – you’ve got to improve each time you go up, so that’s the challenge for us and it’s one I’m really excited about taking on.”
