Wrexham players are having the time of their lives as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's side begin pre-season training in LA

The Red Dragons touched down in the United States on Wednesday and headed straight to their training camp atthe University of California. The players have been mighty impressed with the facilities and they are having the time of their lives before Phil Parkinson takes them to the grass.

Parkinson has already sent out a stern warning to the squad that the pre-season trip is "not a holiday" and he will be a tough taskmaster on the training field. After achieving successive promotions, the manager is determined to further climb up the English football pyramid in May 2025 and set up rigorous training sessions to get them match-ready before the competitive fixtures begin in August.

Wrexham will lock horns against Premier League teams Bournemouth and Chelsea on July 20 and 24 respectively before travelling further north to face Vancouver Whitecaps three days later. Upon returning to Wales, they will begin their League One campaign against Wycombe Wanderers on August 10 at the Racecourse Ground.
