Wrexham part company with Daniel Lawrence
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

A knee injury of the worst kind for John Egan
129 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wrexham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Christopher Kelly takes charge at Wrexham
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Aston Villa tell Wrexham: Rory Wilson is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Boardroom2 Aug 2027
Wrexham pay $16.5K to end Daniel Lawrence's contract
The bill for the sacking has arrived. Daniel Lawrence leaves with $16.5K for the time left on his deal, and that money buys the club nothing it can put on the pitch.
Squad2 Aug 2027
Wrexham lose Alex Moore
24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Squad2 Aug 2027
Nathan Broadhead is no longer first choice
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Nathan Broadhead has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
In brief
- The dugout James Garner is playing like a man with something to prove
- Squad Wrexham take the armband off Anthony Patterson
- Market Joe Worrall told to find a new club
