  21. James grateful for 'crazy' year at Wrexham

    Matty James says he has been grateful for his "crazy" spell at Wrexham so far following a "whirlwind" summer last year.

    The central midfielder was released by Bristol City in May 2024 and was without a club until moving to the Stok Cae Ras in October on a short-term basis.

    But he went on to sign a contract until June 2026 and featured 33 times in all competitions under Phil Parkinson to help the club gain automatic promotion from League One.

    "Last summer was a bit of a whirlwind," he said.

    "I went into Leicester, they were fantastic and kept me fit, and then the opportunity came from Wrexham and I took it with both hands.

    "Lo and behold we get promoted and I'm back in the Championship.

    "It's been a crazy nearly 12 months and I'm really grateful for that.

    "I was having doubts over whether I'd play again but it couldn't have happened any better really, getting ready for a Championship game on Saturday afternoon."

    The end of Wrexham's 2025-26 season will mark 10 years since James was on the books at Leicester City when they stunned the football world by winning the Premier League.

    James missed the entirety of that memorable season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, although he admits he is bidding to remain an integral part of Wrexham's "fairy tale" having missed out on the Foxes' glorious title win almost a decade ago.

    "It'd be a book end. 10 years ago? That's unbelievable," he said.

    "As a group of players, everybody's aware of the story and the conversation that comes with it.

    "I think the main thing is we go out and enjoy it as well because, from where the club's been to where it is now, it's a fairy tale story and I hope that continues."

    Now at 34 years of age and with the likes of Lewis O'Brien and George Thomason brought in to the squad during the summer, James' sole aim is to continue to feature and contribute regularly for Wrexham.

    "The personal aim is I want to play as many games as I possibly can," he explained.

    "I want to prove I can still play in the Championship at 34 years old. That's what drives me and just to help the lads as much as possible.

    "For me at the moment, I feel great, I've got a real spring in my step.

    "I've enjoyed the football club and everything about it. I want to play here for as long as possible."
