They have taken another step up the EFL ladder with apparent ease, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-much-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-spent-wrexham-summer-transfer-window-record-signing-eight-deals-promotion/blt2b42ee8a6fa41d12" target="_blank">completed more shrewd recruitment business</a> in the summer transfer window.

WHAT HAPPENED?

They do, however, still have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/unaware-rule-why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-let-eight-players-go-competitive-league-one/bltf4aa783f10a504a7" target="_blank">two free spaces in their 22-man squad</a> – with only players over the age of 21 having to be included on that list.

Parkinson has said in <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/24571091.wrexham-boss-phil-parkinson-submitted-squad-list-efl/ " target="_blank">The Leader</a> when asked about more potential arrivals in North Wales: “At the moment we will roll with what we have got. We have got some good players who haven't figured much yet so we don't want to bring someone in for the sake of it. We have had young Josh Adam in from Manchester City on trial. He is a player we would like to keep because he has got real talent but in terms of a senior player coming in at the moment, we have got enough of those fighting for places.”

Hollywood co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-tax-wrexham-charged-more-transfers-phil-parkinson-reacts-inflated-fees-recruitment-update/blt815e966be4373c64" target="_blank">continued to make the money available</a> that has allowed a fiercely-competitive squad to be assembled.
