Wrexham star Jordan Davies recently reflected on the final few weeks of the National League and the celebrations after winning the title. Davies said, “I don’t think we could have planned it any better in terms of winning the league. The title race throughout the season between us and Notts County went down to the wire.” “Hats off to County, and hats off to ourselves for producing the two highest league points ever,” Davies said, hailing Notts County.

“That just speaks for itself and to finally get it done in a home game after going 1-0 behind was really special. It worked out perfectly and everyone was there to celebrate together, which was brilliant,” the midfielder added. The midfielder wasn’t on the bus for the title parade as his wife gave birth to a child the same day, but was delighted with what the club achieved this season.

The midfielder made 27 appearances for the club despite missing three months due to injury. Everyone from the club stepped up when required to achieve their dream of promotion after 15 years. Now the club will shift the focus on the transfer window and pre-season in the US before playing in League Two. The quality of competition between both teams propelled each other in a historic campaign where several records were broken.
