Wrexham are now just days away from starting the Championship season after another busy summer for Phil Parkinson.
Wrexham’s pre-season schedule is now complete after a pair of friendlies against FC Groningen on Saturday.
The time for friendlies is now over, with Wrexham taking on Southampton to kick off the Championship season.
This has been a busy summer for Wrexham, with seven signings made since promotion from League One.
Conor Coady became Wrexham’s latest signing on Friday, with the former England defender arriving from Leicester City.
Ryan Hardie, Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, George Thomason, Josh Windass and Lewis O’Brien have also joined Wrexham, while Kieffer Moore is set to join after a medical.
Jordan Davies on fire after Wrexham exit
As new faces arrive at the STōK Cae Ras, Wrexham have said goodbye to some fan favourites this summer.
Paul Mullin’s move to Wigan Athletic made the biggest headlines, while Steven Fletcher could now retire after being released.
Mark Howard has joined Salford City, but midfielder Jordan Davies remains without a club after leaving Wrexham.
Wrexham-born Davies was a star in the National League, racking up 15 goals in the first season of the Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds project.
As Wrexham have moved up through the leagues, Davies has fallen by the wayside and was released this summer, following a loan spell at Grimsby Town.
Davies has spent part of pre-season at the PFA pre-season camp, joining other free agents in keeping fit and playing friendly games.
This experience has been a great success for Davies, as he scored twice against Hednesford Town over the weekend.
The PFA noted that Davies has now scored four goals in two games for the PFA XI, showing off his quality in the final third.
Davies has displayed his wand of a left foot, but he remains without a club as things stand.
League Two clubs should call Jordan Davies
Wrexham fans will always have a soft spot for Davies, who came up in the club’s ranks before departing for Brighton and Hove Albion in 2017.
Davies returned home in 2020 and was one of the stars of the early stages under McElhenney and Reynolds, so his contribution should never be forgotten.
Supporters would love to support Davies from afar, but there will be surprise that he hasn’t landed a move elsewhere this summer.
Davies showed flashes of his ability with Grimsby Town, with injuries the only factor holding him back last season.
League Two clubs should be looking at how Davies has performed over the summer and must consider picking up the phone to explore a deal.
Any League Two side seeking creativity and a long-range goal threat should have Davies circled, and there is still so much in his locker at just 26.
The calls will surely come sooner or later, and Wrexham fans will be right there to celebrate any of his successes.
