Manager Phil Parkinson was delighted forward Jack Marriott was back among the goals as Wrexham maintained their bid for automatic promotion to the Championship.

Marriott, 30, suffered a broken leg in training in October 2024 which required surgery.

Marriott, who scored five goals for Wrexham in League One before his injury, netted the third in the 3-0 win over Burton Albion last Saturday.

"That goal was brilliant for him and for us," Parkinson said.

"It was tough for Jack - I remember going back to that day he got injured.

"Then in January when he was on his way back and we were looking at recruitment and brining players in I said to everybody – 'let's just remember we had Jack, who had a great start to the season'.

"He wasn't quite there yet, but there was an expectation and the potential for him to get back to the heights he reached early in the season."
