Phil Parkinson could already axe player he signed in 2024 to resolve emerging Wrexham issue
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have big budgets at their disposal and Phil Parkinson is the beneficiary as he’s able to make ambitious moves for players.
The Wrexham manager is currently eyeing up several recruits, including Portsmouth midfielder Joe Morrell and released Shrewsbury Town goalkeeper Marko Marosi.
For Parkinson, landing players with Hollywood owners at the helm has never been an issue however, there is one problem that is preventing an influx of talent from arriving.
Wrexham need to offload some of their players
Wrexham let go of nine players from their squad, some of which were senior assets, shortly after the 2023/24 campaign drew to a close.
Yet, Parkinson is still in a position where he needs to sell more of his squad before he can splash the cash or even just acquire individuals for free.
After giving Steven Fletcher a new contract, keeping him at the Racecourse Ground till 2025, Wrexham currently have 21 senior talents signed up ahead of next season.
At this stage, that figure isn’t an issue as the EFL squad limit for registration is 22 however, if the Reds want to invest in at least six new players – a number they totalled last summer – Parkinson has to shift on some of his deadwood.
A player that should consider offloading is one who was signed during the January transfer window.
Parkinson should consider offloading Jack Marriott
McElhenney and Reynolds landed what looked like an incredible coup when striker Jack Marriott arrived on deadline day.
