'Gutted!' - Wrexham star Jacob Mendy sends out emotional message after revealing he'll miss 'last push' for promotion with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side

The Gambian international pulled up with a hamstring injury during Wrexham's 2-1 win over Colchester United earlier this month and missed the 4-1 victory at home to Crawley Town on Tuesday night. Now, the former Wealdstone man has vowed to come back stronger but has suggested his season is over.

The 27-year-old tweeted on Wednesday afternoon: "Gutted to not be able to help on the last push. Injuries are part of the journey and it’s time for me to experience this side of the game. I’ll be back stronger 💪🏿❤️"

The wing-back, who can also play as a winger, has been an important player for the Welsh outfit since signing from Boreham Wood in 2022 - scoring six goals and bagging five assists in 67 matches. However, it seems he won't play again this season as second-placed Wrexham eye a second straight promotion, following their National League triumph last season. His efforts, however, will have been appreciated by the club's fans.

While Mendy is on the sidelines, Wrexham will try and achieve promotion in his absence. Phil Parkinson's men host lowly Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, knowing that a victory for them, and a loss or a draw for MK Dons and Barrow, will ensure they secure automatic promotion.
