Last year Wrexham had the opportunity to get back to English League 2. It was hampered by a heartbreaking penultimate strike by Luke Waterfall of Grimsby Town. Wrexham will face Grimsby Town again this Saturday, one year after the Mariners spoiled their promotion party. $266,000 rated new signing, William Boyle, is confident that his team has what it takes to defeat the 11th-placed side. He said, “We have got strength in depth in abundance and that is good.” Boyle added, “I am just looking forward to cracking on and enjoying it.”

Wrexham’s firepower keeps players on their toes

Wrexham will look at their squad and feel that they eventually have enough strength to get through. Despite letting go of a lot of players, Wrexham could secure the signing of William Boyle from Huddersfield Town. The center-back has quickly established himself as a key member of the squad. Considering the quality of Wrexham’s bench strength, Boyle feels that he needs to work hard to keep his place in the squad. He said, “I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true – competition is healthy. If you know there is somebody chomping at the bit to take your shirt, then you know you have got to be at it. Personally, I have got the mentality that I know I have got to be at it.”
