21-year-old striker with ‘electric pace’ wins award

Wrexham still have one game to go this season but plans for the summer transfer window will already be a focus for Phil Parkinson and co.

Wrexham have secured back-to-back promotions and will be playing League One football once again next season.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, Wrexham are back in the third tier and the rapid rise in recent years has been a whirlwind for supporters.

Stockport County will visit the STōK Cae Ras this weekend and after that, it’s full steam ahead to the summer.

Wrexham players will be heading off to Las Vegas for another promotion party, paid for by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

The ‘Hollywood owners’ will also need to bankroll some signings with Parkinson accepting that additions are needed.

Parkinson feels that the jump from League Two to League One is bigger than the one from National League to League Two and thinks Wrexham have to nail recruitment.

There aren’t too many rumours around right now but one name mentioned in recent weeks is Loughgall talent Benji Magee.

Reports earlier in April suggested that Wrexham were keen on Magee and were battling the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic – two of Parkinson’s former clubs – for his signature.

The rumour hasn’t advanced since then but Magee has now won an award over in Northern Ireland.

At the Northern Ireland Football Awards, Magee was named Young Player of the Year for the 2023-24 season.

Magee fended off competition from Cliftonville’s Shea Kearney and Linfield’s Ethan Mcgee to take home the award.

Magee has hit 16 goals in 31 games this season with the 21-year-old enjoying a real breakthrough season in Northern Ireland’s top flight.
