Wrexham ended the season in style on Saturday afternoon, coming from behind to beat League Two champions Stockport County 2-1 at the STōK Cae Ras.

Wrexham already had promotion wrapped up earlier in April but showed no sign of slowing down.

A win over Crewe Alexandra was followed up by that victory over Stockport, ending the season with three wins in a row.

Fans are already looking ahead to life in League One and a potentially exciting summer ahead.

It’s only natural to look ahead to what could happen at Wrexham this summer, another chance for the club to take a step forward under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

Looking back another outstanding season is important as well though and Wrexham’s End of Season Awards Evening took place on Monday night at William Aston Hall.

Paul Mullin winning the Player of the Season award caused a stir but we also saw midfielder Elliot Lee pick up an award too.

Alan Shearer message to Elliot Lee

Mullin got the fan vote but playmaker Lee was named Players’ Player of the Season, receiving recognition from his teammates for a fine season.

Lee racked up an incredible record of 16 goals in 46 games whilst also chipping in with five assists.

The 29-year-old had an enormous impact on Wrexham’s season and that he played in every single league game really says it all.

Lee did look exhausted at times towards the end of the season but Phil Parkinson just couldn’t give him an extended rest – he was just too important.

Wrexham players clearly appreciate the campaign Lee produced and he has even received received some support from Alan Shearer.

Wrexham posted confirmation of Lee’s award on Instagram and that’s where Shearer got involved.

The Premier League’s record goalscorer commented with a number of clapping emojis, applauding Lee on a superb season and a well-earned award.

Shearer’s message may seem a little random, but it’s down to Lee’s father.

Lee is the son of former Newcastle United midfielder Rob Lee, who played alongside Shearer for many years at St James’ Park.

Lee senior and Shearer remain friends to this day and Shearer is often seen posting supportive messages to the Wrexham ace.

Maybe it’s time for McElhenney and Reynolds to extend the invitation to Shearer for him to come to a few games at the STōK Cae Ras next season.

This all just caps off a great season for Lee; 16 goals, promotion, a spot in the League Two Team of the Season, a nomination for League Two Player of the Season and now Wrexham’s Players’ Player of the Season.

Lee won’t stop there though and will be looking to make sure that he is in the conversation for more awards in a year’s time.
