Red Dragons flying high in third tier tableHollywood co-owners funding projectTwo places left in Parkinson's squadWHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Dragons are flying high in the League One table five games into the 2024-25 campaign. They have taken another step up the EFL ladder with apparent ease, having completed more shrewd recruitment business in the summer transfer window.

They do, however, still have two free spaces in their 22-man squad – with only players over the age of 21 having to be included on that list. That has led to suggestions that business at SToK Racecourse may not be finished yet, with another youngster – former Manchester City academy graduate Josh Adam – being taken on trial.
WHAT PARKINSON SAID
Parkinson has said in 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.”
Getty/GOALWHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?
Hollywood co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney have continued to make the money available that has allowed a fiercely-competitive squad to be assembled. The expectation is that they will spend again in January if Wrexham find themselves in contention for back-to-back-to-back promotions.
