Phil Parkinson joined an illustrious list on Saturday as he oversaw his 200th league game in charge of Wrexham.

The 58-year-old became just the sixth Wrexham boss to reach the milestone - joining Ernie Blackburn, John Neal, Dixie McNeil, Brian Flynn and Denis Smith in doing so.

With three promotions to his name in north Wales already, the numbers will inevitably make for pretty reading as far as the manager's record is concerned.

He has overseen 119 victories, giving him a win rate of 59.5% in league matches since taking over at the Stok Cae Ras in the summer of 2021.

Under Parkinson, Wrexham have claimed 405 points from the 600 on offer, meaning the Red Dragons average 2.025 points per game in the league.

Last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers ensured Wrexham extended their unbeaten league run to eight matches - with Parkinson's side now 10th in the table and just three points adrift of the play-off places.

Given the remarkable journey Wrexham have been on under Parkinson and the ownership of Hollywood pair Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, few would bet against the club enjoying even more success as their manager looks forward to whatever other landmarks may lie ahead.
