Wrexham have been advised against a spending spree in the January transfer window after investing £33 million on new recruits last summer. The Red Dragons, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, brought in 13 players following their promotion from League One in April.
The investment appears to be paying off, with the club currently ninth in the Championship, a point from the play-offs and six points off automatic promotion. Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts believes manager Phil Parkinson already has a strong squad and does not urgently need reinforcements.
Speaking to BBC Radio Cymru, Roberts said: 'The question was put to Phil Parkinson a few weeks ago if new players would come in when the window opened in January. If a player comes up who would improve the team and the squad, maybe he'd bring one or two in. But at the moment, he's more than content with the players that he's got.'
Roberts added that Parkinson has 'good options in every position' and that injured players will return soon. He concluded that Wrexham have 'one of the strongest squads in the Championship' and do not need further additions.
Despite this advice, club officials have indicated a cautious yet selective approach in January, with fresh faces still anticipated as they pursue a historic fourth consecutive promotion. Meanwhile, another former Wales striker, Sam Vokes, backed Wrexham's Premier League chances after four consecutive Christmas victories.
Wrexham return to action on Friday night, hosting Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round at the Racecourse Ground, live on TNT Sports.
