Josh Windass, the Wrexham forward, has shed light on his unusual habit of refraining from celebrating his goals. The 32-year-old has netted 15 league goals this season, playing a pivotal role in Wrexham's bid for promotion to the Premier League.
Mindset Over Celebration
Windass, son of former Premier League striker Dean Windass, has been observed rarely celebrating after finding the net. In a recent interview, he explained his philosophy: "I just don't get happy when I score. My mindset is to carry on playing and try and get another one." This focus on continuous performance rather than momentary joy underscores his dedication to the team's success.
Wrexham's Promotion Push
Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are aiming for a fourth consecutive promotion. Currently occupying the final Championship play-off spot with only two matches left, the team relies heavily on Windass's contributions. His goal-scoring form has been crucial in their quest to reach the second tier of English football.
A Potential Exception
Despite his usual restraint, Windass admits there was one notable exception. He celebrated passionately after scoring a last-minute winner in the 2023 League One play-off final at Wembley, securing Sheffield Wednesday's promotion to the Championship. Reflecting on that moment, he hinted at a possible repeat: "If Wrexham make the play-offs and I score at Wembley again, I might just celebrate once more."
Wrexham fans will hope that such a scenario unfolds, as the club looks to continue its remarkable rise under its celebrity owners.
