Vacation mode remains on for Paul Mullin and Co. before Wrexham embarks on a fresh chapter

The calendar remains clear for over two months for Wrexham until they return to action. This gives plenty of time to all the players and coaching staff to look forward to the EFL League One challenge with fresh minds. But before embarking on their new journey, the Red Dragons will take part in their pre-season ritual, flying to the United States and Canada for their ‘Wrex Coast Tour’ and facing off against Premier League and MLS teams throughout the summer.
