Although the Red Dragons are among the favourites to qualify for League One in2024–2025, Edwards, a previous fan favourite, has written a note to Phil Parkinson.
After 15 years away from the Football League, Wrexham returned to League Two with a bang in 2023, and they currently find themselves in the middle of a promotion battle with various other fourth tier clubs.
Along with Stockport County and Mansfield Town, Wrexham is one of the favourites to win one of the three automatic promotion spots in League Two, although teams like Barrow, Crewe Alexandra, and Notts County are all eager to compete.
James McClean, Will Boyle, George Evans, Steven Fletcher, and Arthur Okonkwo were the only notable additions to Wrexham’s squad during the summer, despite the club’s high financial inflows from sponsorship deals that allow them to spend far more on salaries and transfer fees than the majority of their competitors.
And former fan favourite Carlos Edwards, who began his English football career at the Racecourse Ground in 2000 and played 181 times for the North Wales team, thinks Parkinson will need to make more roster changes in January as he hasn’t made many since dropping out of the National League.
“
I think they can (win promotion this season),” Edwards said.
“They need a few additions, maybe a couple more players to take them to that next level.
“They already have a nice squad on paper but you need that fresh competition to push players a bit more and to go for the promotion.
“It’s fine tuning isn’t it? It’s the difference between bringing players in to get players out and bringing players in to get the best out of the players that you already have there. To build that chemistry for the future and to go on to the next level.
“But I think they have all the resources and everything they need to go on to the next level and get promoted so I hope they do. Not just for the players but for the club and the fans.
“The fans have been there through thick and thin and it’s only fair that they get back to that position that they were in for all those long years.”
