As Wrexham prepare for their first season in the Championship, manager Phil Parkinson has highlighted the importance of smart recruitmen. The club, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have been frequently linked with Leicester City’s veteran striker Jamie Vardy, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Vardy, who has scored 199 goals in 499 appearances for Leicester, is attracting interest from several clubs including Newcastle United,, Sheffield Wednesday, and Scottish champions Celtic. His next move is set to be one of the biggest decisions of his career.
Secondly, Speaking to The Leader, Parkinson outlined his transfer strategy ahead of the summer window, which opens in June. He emphasised that securing players on free transfers will be a key priority for Wrexham as they look to build a squad capable of competing in the tougher Championship division.
“We have always got our eye on players who are free transfers and going to be available, and we’ll continue to do that,” Parkinson said. He added, “Recruitment is about getting a lot of tight decisions right, and I felt we did that in January.
To hold our nerve and get the right players in made a difference, and I was very pleased with that.”
Former Leicester striker Paul Dickov, speaking to 10bet, expressed confidence that Vardy would be an excellent fit at Wrexham, known as The Red Dragons. Dickov highlighted the need for an experienced forward to lead the line as the club faces a more demanding league next season.
Lastly, with ambitions rising rapidly, Wrexham’s recruitment approach could be critical in maintaining their momentum up the football pyramid.
