‘A £50m player, at least!’ - Wrexham hero gets huge billing after giving Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney & Phil Parkinson plenty to cheer

The veteran Scottish striker is 37 years of age and will turn 38 before the 2024-25 campaign comes to a close. He will be hoping to have another promotion party to take in over the summer having already helped the Red Dragons to rise into League One.

He has been keeping them into the top-two hunt over the festive period, with three priceless goals recorded since Boxing Day. The first of those, which was registered in the 88th minute, secured a 2-1 win over Blackpool. Fletcher than grabbed a 91st-minute winner versus Wigan.

Fletcher was at it again in a meeting with Peterborough, as he netted the only goal of that game three minutes from the end, and Parkinson has been singing his praises. The Wrexham boss has said: “He’s just an incredible player. I think if he was 10 years younger he’d be a £50m player, at least.

“Because he’s just such a talent, he’s a great lad, always about the team, always there to advise the younger players. He’s a terrific fella, he really is. The lads absolutely love him and I’m pleased for him to have special moments.”

Parkinson added on a man that will see another short-term contract expire at the end of the season: "It's great for him as well because obviously he's got time left in his career but at his age his career is coming to that stage so to get special moments like that is incredible. We've just got to stop him sprinting off and celebrating and using his energy up!”

Fletcher also scored late on in an opening weekend 3-2 victory over Wycombe, meaning that four of his five goals this season have been decisive. His efforts have helped to keep Wrexham third in the League One table, with Hollywood co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney being given plenty to shout about.
