Phil Parkinson nominated for League One Manager of the Month after Wrexham's third successive promotion

Phil Parkinson has been nominated for April's League One Manager of the Month award after leading Wrexham to a third consecutive promotion, finishing the month unbeaten with 12 points from six matches. Significant wins against Burton Albion, Blackpool, and Charlton Athletic secured their automatic promotion to the Championship, with a 3-0 victory over Charlton being particularly crucial. Parkinson's calm leadership under pressure has been credited as a key factor in the club’s historic achievement, and he is competing for the award against Chris Davies, Richie Wellens, and Gary Bowyer. Meanwhile, striker Sam Smith, who joined Wrexham in January, played a pivotal role by scoring decisive goals, including a memorable volley against Charlton, and has been nominated for the PFA League One Fans’ Player of the Month award. The team concluded the season with a win over Lincoln City, while individual players like Max Cleworth, Paul Mullin, and Ollie Rathbone have also been recognized for their contributions. The winners of these monthly awards will be announced soon as Wrexham and its supporters celebrate their remarkable season.
