— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) May 2, 2026Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has fired a warning to other teams, insisting they'll be even more of a force next term.
“This squad as it stands with a pre-season together will be even stronger next year," he said.
“Of course we’ll always look to add to that to try and give ourselves an even better chance.
“It became a bit fragmented in pre-season and in the later stages of the transfer window just because of the people coming in and people going out.
“So we’ll be stronger as a unit for that and, of course, we know where we’d like to strengthen and what we need to improve on.
“We’ll do that and we’ll make this squad as strong as we possibly can to mount a challenge next year. We’ll have a break now and we’ll go again.”
He added: “We’ve taken the fight to the wire and it just wasn’t to be on the day.
“I don’t think there’s much more we could have asked from the lads against such a good side.
“To respond the way we did after going a goal down was a great effort.
“We didn’t want the season to end because we’ve enjoyed it so much. It has, but to finish seventh is a real achievement at this level.”
