“I AM LEAVING FOR GOOD”: Wrexham coach announced departure due to team accusation of being the downfall of the team…..

“Special” player that Barnsley released is ideal for Wrexham; he can compete with Max Cleworth

A “special” player that Barnsley recently released would make Max Cleworth’s opponent at Wrexham before the 2019–20 season.

After their historic promotion from League One last season, Wrexham is preparing for its first League One campaign in nearly twenty years.

Phil Parkinson’s team won five of their last six games, cantering to automatic promotion with games remaining.

In order to compete against some of the best teams in the third division, such as Huddersfield Town, Birmingham City, and Peterborough United, the Reds are now trying to bolster their roster.

Signing a goalkeeper is a top priority as Arthur Okonkwo’s loan period is about to expire, but strengthening their defense is equally crucial.

With 52 goals conceded in 46 games, Wrexham’s defense finished fourth in League Two last season; only Stockport, Mansfield, and Wimbledon had worse records.

The issue isn’t with their backline, which is strong and features Eoghan O’Connell, Will Boyle, Tom O’Connor, and Max Cleworth; rather, it’s with their sheer quantity.

This summer, Parkinson bid adieu to Jordan Tunnicliffe, Aaron Hayden, the aerial beast, and longtime veteran Ben Tozer.

They had three solid defenders, mostly from the National League, but they aren’t good enough for the third division.

This summer, Wrexham will be searching the market for reinforcements; Tom Pearce is one name they are considering, while Marvin Ekpiteta has recently come to their attention.

Pearce, Ekpiteta, and Jordan Williams, the recently released defender from Barnsley, would all be good free agent choices and provide Cleworth with competition on the right side.

Williams was one of several players dismissed by the Tykes following their failure to advance to the Championship via the play-offs.

Despite this, the 23-year-old may be proud of his stellar third-tier campaign, as he played in every League One game, mostly as a right-sided defender in a back three.

The Englishman, who is renowned for his lightning-fast speed and one-on-one defense skills, led Barnsley’s team in tackles per game (2.2), interceptions (0.8), and ball recovery (6.3), winning 62% of his ground duels.

The “special” Williams is a versatile player who can also play right wing-back. He was instrumental in Barnsley’s drive for promotion.

things Parkinson ought to notice.

The 56-year-old is trying to offer defensive cover, and Williams would not only give Cleworth some competition on the right, but he would also give the defense some much-needed speed and athleticism.

In contrast to Cleworth, who has never participated in this level of play, the former Barnsley player has made 109 appearances in League One and has contributed 11 assists and six goals.

Undoubtedly, Wrexham’s gifted defense is capable of competing in the third division, but he would perform at his highest level if he had more opponents to fight for a spot in the team.

Williams is a top-tier League One player who is available on a free transfer and fits their needs exactly.
