Wrexham defender Ben Tozer has spoken out about his time at the club, explaining what is so unique about playing for the Welsh side.
The 33-year-old, who joined the club from Cheltenham back in 2021, has been a crucial player under Phil Parkinson throughout his two years at the club.
Since his arrival, Tozer has played 89 times for the club, scoring five times – with his long throws being a key asset to Parkinson’s playstyle.
Tozer was a key component throughout the promotion-winning campaign last season, with the 33-year-old admitting that there was real pressure to get the job done allowing a return to the EFL.
Tozer on why playing for Wrexham is so unique
Speaking on The Everyday Perspective Podcast, Wrexham captain Tozer spoke in detail about the challenges playing for Wrexham given the ownership situation.
“It’s so unique playing for this club because every game you’re playing against people who either love the show or against people who are jealous and resent you.
“Essentially you’re their cup final because you play on a Saturday and a lad on their team might say ‘what if I play well today, they might sign me’ so it’s literally their final.
“Every team we played at their ground last season, it was pretty much a record attendance for them – there’s so many elements against you.”

He knows what it takes to win promotion from League Two, with his experience and leadership a key asset to the Wrexham side this season.
