“Never Nice To Leave” – Wrexham Star Gets Emotional On Leaving Club After 6 Years

With a heavy heart, Wrexham parted ways with 8 of their top stars earlier this month. One name that stunned the fans was ex-skipper Luke Young, who spent six seasons at the club. The 31-year-old midfielder established himself as a cornerstone at the Stok Racecourse. However, while the player had a great run in the National League, it seems the Englishman failed to cope with the pressure of League Two. Manager Phil Parkinson seemed well aware of the fact that the head coach informed Young about his impending release before the team’s Las Vegas celebrations.

Unlike how some would have expected the midfielder to have taken the news, Luke Young has found the silver lining. The former Wrexham skipper penned an emotional message addressing his former teammates after his release.

Young stated, “It is never nice to leave, and it is never nice to end, especially with the length of time I have been at Wrexham and the relationships that I have built up with not only staff but a lot of players in that dressing room in the six years. I will certainly have friends for life who I will stay in touch with. It was nice to get promoted and then you go away with the lads and enjoy it one last time for myself.”

While Luke Young ends his chapter with Wrexham, the player still has much to strive for. Young is among the few EPL captains who have helped their side bag two consecutive promotions and is unlikely to have an absence of opportunities going ahead. It will be interesting to see what’s next for the player after his one last huzzah with the Red Dragons in Las Vegas.

Wrexham celebrates promotion to League One in style

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney spared no expense, with the Wrexham owners, sending their players on a fully paid vacation to Las Vegas. The Red Dragons secured promotion this season after finishing second behind Stockport in the league standings. With the promotion secured, the owners jetted off to the United States with their players to enjoy in style. According to reports, players were seen enjoying their time in different nightclubs.

While the trip was a memorable occasion for many, Luke Young and seven other players spent their last week with the team before their release announcement. However, the decision was already made before the trip, with the team management informing the players before their flight to Wrexham. Fans will hope the released players can continue well with their careers following their memorable spell with Wrexham.
