Wrexham AFC are back on the training ground ready for the season ahead.

New manager Sam Ricketts ran the rule over his Reds squad for the first time at Nine Acre Field on Monday morning in sweltering sunshine.

Wrexham's programme of friendlies begins with a clash against Welsh National League side Lex XI at Stansty Park on Friday evening.

Two trialists are set to link-up with Wrexham for the start of pre-season while winger Jack Mackreth, one of seven players released by Ricketts last month, could also be involved to let him work on his fitness.
