Wrexham pre-season 2023 fixtures & results

Wrexham's tour of the U.S. commenced when the Wrexham Red Dragons - a seven-a-side representative team - featured in The Soccer Tournament, which was held at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina from June 1 to June 4.

They defeated Como 1907 3-2 and US Women 12-0 before topping their group with an 8-1 victory over Say Word FC. However, they were knocked out in the round of 16 after a 4-3 defeat to Conrad & Beasley United.

The senior team's first official friendly game ended in a 5-0 defeat against Premier League side Chelsea at Kenan Memorial Stadium, Chapel Hill, North Carolina on July 19. The Red Dragons, though, bounced back with a 4-0 hammering of LA Galaxy II on July 22 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

They then beat a young Manchester United side on July 25 at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, but the game was overshadowed by Paul Mullin suffering a punctured lung. Their tour concluded with a 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union II at Subaru Park on July 28, a game that took over four hours to finish due to a huge thunderstorm.

Wrexham 2023-24 pre-season tour squad

Boss Phil Parkinson has also named his 26-man squad for the U.S. tour, with many familiar names who steered them to promotion last season, including captain Ben Tozer, Eoghan O'Connell, Tom O'Connor, Ollie Palmer, among others.

Wrexham have made just one acquisition so far in the transfer window, securing the services of defender Will Boyle from Huddersfield Town, but arguably their best bit of business has been tying 40-year-old Ben Foster down to a new contract for their return to League Two.

On the flip side, Wrexham released 11 players earlier this summer following the expiration of their contracts and will be looking to bolster their squad over the rest of the transfer window.

Aaron Hayden and Bryce Hosannah have both returned to the fold after being forced to sit out the final few weeks of the 2022-23 campaign.

Playing a starring role in the Wrexham fairytale with 38 goals in 46 league matches last term, striker Paul Mullin sustained a punctured lung, and four fractured ribs after colliding with Manchester United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop during a pre-season friendly win, which means he could be out for up to three months with the injury.

When does Wrexham's 2023-24 season start?

Wrexham begin the competitive action for 2023-24 with a home game against MK Dons in League Two on August 5, 2023.

The Red Dragons will then take on Wigan Athletic in the first round of the Carabao Cup on August 8 2023.
