Wrexham star Elliot Lee explains why Ryan Reynolds’ Red Dragons have ‘the best changing room’ he has been in throughout his career

Elliot Lee has highlighted the key factors contributing to the success of Wrexham under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds, specifically praising the team’s exceptional camaraderie. Wrexham, led by manager Phil Parkinson, recently secured the National League title, marking their return to the Football League after a 15-year absence. Lee attributes their success not only to the squad’s quality but also to the tight-knit bonds within the team.

Speaking to reporters, Lee emphasized the importance of the team’s unity, stating, “It is not just about the strength in depth in the squad. It is the characters we have as well, and we are such a tight-knit bunch. That is so important. I have been in some bad changing rooms and I have been in some good changing rooms, and this is probably the best one I have been in for togetherness.”

 

Lee, who began his career at West Ham United and has played for various clubs including Luton, Oxford, and Charlton, expressed that the positive atmosphere within the changing room has a tangible impact on the team’s performance on the pitch. He highlighted the squad’s strong work ethic and the genuine camaraderie among players as crucial factors in their success.

As Wrexham competes for a second successive promotion, Lee’s remarkable season with the team includes scoring 13 goals in 23 League Two matches.

Looking ahead, Wrexham will face Walsall in an away fixture on December 29, followed by a match against Barrow on the first day of the new year in 2024. Additionally, they are set to participate in the FA Cup third-round fixture against Shrewsbury Town on January 7.
