Wrexham AFC manager Phil Parkinson could be granted freedom of the county borough, following the club’s historic back-to-back-to-back promotions.
At a meeting on Tuesday, May 13, the Executive Board agreed to recommend to full Council that Mr Parkinson is granted the honour, after steering the club to promotion over three successive seasons.
The recommendation will now be considered at a meeting of full Council, which includes all 56 councillors from across the county borough.
Leader of the Council, Councillor Mark Pritchard, said: “In 2022 the council granted freedom of the county borough to the club’s owners, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
“It now seems fitting to have a similar discussion about granting the same honour to Phil Parkinson, as he’s done an incredible job in taking the team from National League to Championship football over the past three seasons.
“What the club has achieved is phenomenal – not just in terms of success on the pitch, but also in terms of the knock-on effect for the city as a whole. It’s given Wrexham renewed confidence.”
