The 2024/25 season has inarguably been one of the greatest in Wrexham’s long footballing history.
Phil Parkinson’s team became the first club to secure back-to-back-to-back promotions in the EFL, rising up from National League to the Championship since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the Welsh outfit.
Wrexham secured automatic promotion by finishing second in League One – a whopping 18 places above where a supercomputer predicted Wrexham would finish at the start of the season – fending off stiff competition from Wycombe Wanderers and Charlton Athletic in order to do so.
The club’s vast overperformance during the 2024/25 season was made possible thanks to the wonderful form of a number of key players.
One such key player has been youngster Max Cleworth. The defender was a standout performer in Parkinson’s team, netting a thoroughly impressive seven goals in 42 League One appearances. Those performances rightfully led to Cleworth winning both the Players’ Player of the Season award and Young Player of the Season award at Wrexham.
Wrexham fans agree that Max Cleworth ‘deserved’ Wrexham end of season awards
The announcement that Cleworth picked up two of the club’s end of season awards has notably gone down well with Wrexham fans.
The Wrexham faithful took to X/Twitter to express their delight at the news that Cleworth won the Players’ Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards, with many labelling them as ‘well deserved’ after a fantastic campaign:
Fans were also particularly keen to point how impressive the Players’ Player of the Season award win was, given that his teammates were recognising Cleworth’s exceptional performances on the pitch and on the training ground:
Wrexham players hail ‘consistently brilliant’ Max Cleworth
Cleworth’s teammates gave their reasons for voting for the 22-year-old as the club’s Players’ Player of the Season too.
Captain James McClean hailed Cleworth for his consistency throughout the 2024/25 campaign, saying: “he’s been consistently brilliant all season. Obviously we’ve got a really good clean sheet record which he’s been part of.”
Elliot Lee also pinpointed Cleworth’s consistency as being a key reason for the player getting his vote: “You’ve been outstanding all season. Great lad, and a credit to the club.”
Veteran Matty James gave a glowing review of the defender too, declaring him to be the “heart and soul” of the team: “I think he’s probably been the heart and soul of the team at times, and he’s led by example.”
