Wrexham are nine games away from potentially achieving their third successive promotion.
Phil Parkinson has already rescued the Red Dragons from being stuck in the National League into League One promotion contention at the business end of the season.
Wrexham have the best away record in the division in 2025 so far and will be looking to build upon their five victories on the road whilst continuing to make the Racecourse Ground an intimidating place to visit.
At this time of the season however, form and fitness becomes crucial amongst the squad, Parkinson praised the form of Sam Smith recently but injuries and niggles are starting to play a factor.
Phil Parkinson praised the versatility of George Evans in previous comments
With the likes of Andy Cannon out injured long term and Ollie Rathbone struggling with a persistent niggle, Parkinson may have to use the entire depth of his Wrexham squad in the promotion run in.
Speaking on the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary on season 3 episode 7, the Wrexham manager previously highlighted the versatility of George Evans and he could yet play a vital role this season.
Parkinson stated: “George Evans is back from a long injury which is great for us, he can play at the back, he can play across the midfield, he’s a great player to have back in the squad.”
The 30-year-old is predominantly a midfielder but his contribution could be vital in other areas towards the end of the season if injuries or suspensions hit.
Evans has been plagued by injuries this season at Wrexham
Evans has been described by Parkinson as ‘unlucky’ after having picked up injuries this season and been restricted to just seven appearances in the league.
The midfielder was signed from Millwall in September 2023 and enjoyed an excellent season in League Two with the Red Dragons, making 32 appearances in all competitions.
However, the start of this campaign was initially disrupted with a groin issue before Evans tore his ankle ligaments in October 2024 and missed 13 games with the injury.
He is back fighting fit now and Parkinson knows that he can call upon his reliable and versatile midfielder when required, something that is another bonus for the Wrexham boss.
