Wrexham star Elliot Lee explains why Ryan Reynolds’ Red Dragons have ‘the best changing room’ he has been in throughout his career

Under the leadership of Phil Parkinson, Wrexham secured the National League title, marking their return to the Football League after a 15-year absence. The momentum has continued into the current season, with the Reds competing for a second successive promotion. Lee believes that their remarkable success is not only due to the squad's quality but also because of the tight-knit camaraderie within the team.

Speaking to reporters, he said: "It is not just about the strength in depth in the squad. It is the characters we have as well and we are such a tight-knit bunch. That is so important. I have been in some bad changing rooms and I have been in some good changing rooms and this is probably the best one I have been in for togetherness.

"Good, honest lads who come in, have a laugh and work hard, and I think you see that out on the pitch. It does make a massive difference because if you are a close-knit bunch, you want to do that extra yard for your mate. The squad depth is amazing but the characters we have is a credit to the team."

Lee began his career at West Ham United and has played for various clubs, including Luton, Oxford and Charlton. He is enjoying a remarkable season with Wrexham having scored 13 goals in 23 League Two matches.

Wrexham will conclude the year with an away fixture against Walsall on December 29 and will also be in action on the first day of the new year against Barrow, marking the beginning of 2024. Shortly after, on January 7, Parkinson will lead his men in the FA Cup third round fixture against Shrewsbury Town.
