PHIL PARKINSON said he was "immensely proud" after seeing his Wrexham side make it back-to-back promotions.

With promotion rivals MK Dons and Barrow both losing, the Reds' 6-0 thrashing of Forest Green Rovers at The STōK Cae Ras confirmed the step-up to League One for Phil Parkinson's side.

Elliot Lee opened the scoring before Paul Mullin scored twice, either side of Ryan Inniss’ own goal, as Wrexham hit four before the break, with Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott finding the net in the second half.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson was full of praise for his team, who won the National League title last season.

He said: “I’m immensely proud of the lads today because, if you look at the Tuesday performance (a 4-1 win over Crawley) and today, when it mattered most we’ve put in our two best performances of the season.

“It’s never easy with Forest Green’s low block making it difficult, but it was important we showed that we’d learned from when we played them last time and I think some of our football was of a very high standard today.

“I came into the game not expecting other results to go our way, I think that’s the best way to approach it.

“It wasn’t until about two minutes to go when my son George, who’s our analyst, gave me the rundown and obviously then you know it’s a done deal. I’m just so pleased.

“It’s a great achievement for everybody connected with the club, it really is.

“There is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes, it really is a team effort at Wrexham, everybody pulls together and I have to include the supporters in that because, home and away, they’ve been absolutely magnificent for us. They’ve stayed with us, kept the faith and the belief and they’ve got their rewards today.”
