Wrexham’s “professionalism” was praised by Phil Parkinson after his team overcame a deficit to defeat Morecambe in their League Two match on Saturday.

Next?
Parkinson’s team is well-positioned heading into the final ten games of the season, as Wrexham is only three points behind Mansfield Town at the top of the table. On Tuesday night, they’ll take on Harrogate, who have lost their past six games.
