Wrexham's recent acquisition of highly-rated defender, Ben Parkinson, has sent ripples through the Welsh club's fanbase. The 23-year-old center-back, who joins from League Two side, Barrow, is being heralded as a "specialist" by manager Phil Parkinson.
Parkinson, the manager, has stated that he believes the signing will be a valuable addition to his squad. He has praised the young defender's versatility and ability to play in a number of positions across the backline.
"Ben is a specialist," said Parkinson. "He can play center-back, right-back, even a bit of left-back. He's very comfortable on the ball, and he's a good defender."
The arrival of Parkinson, the player, comes at a time when Wrexham are looking to solidify their defense. The club finished last season in 7th place in the National League, narrowly missing out on a playoff spot.
"We're looking to build a squad that can compete for the title next season," continued Parkinson, the manager. "Ben's arrival is a big step in the right direction."
Parkinson, the player, has made over 100 appearances for Barrow since joining the club in 2020. He was a key figure in their promotion from the National League to League Two in 2022.
"I'm delighted to be joining Wrexham," said Parkinson, the player. "It's a fantastic club with a lot of history. I'm looking forward to playing in front of the Wrexham fans and helping the team achieve success."
The signing of Parkinson, the player, is sure to generate excitement among Wrexham supporters. His experience, versatility, and potential make him a valuable asset to the club. The addition of a "specialist" like Parkinson, the player, may just be the key ingredient needed to push Wrexham, the club, towards their championship ambitions.
