Wrexham star Jacob Mendy bags assist in first appearance in four months after recovering from hamstring surgery

Mendy, who had been sidelined for four months after surgery on his hamstring, returned to action on Tuesday in a Central League fixture as Wrexham reserves faced Stoke City's U-21 side. The Gambian defender contributed with an assist on his return as he spent more than an hour on the pitch. The Red Dragons clinched a 3-2 win courtesy of Jake Bickerstaff's hat-trick.

Mendy suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out of action towards the end of March. He then underwent surgery over the summer and is now slowly regaining fitness to make a comeback to the Wrexham first team. Along with the Gambian, Paul Mullin is also back in training after he underwent a minor spinal surgery.

The 27-year-old left-back was an integral part of Phil Parkinson's squad last season as they finished runners-up in League Two to secure back-to-back promotions. He appeared in 36 matches across all competitions scoring twice and providing five assists.

The Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney-owned side have made an unbeaten start to the new League One season and will be back in action on Saturday against Reading, but it remains to be seen if Mendy or Mullin will be included in Parkinson's squad.
