'It wouldn't be Wrexham without a bit of fun' - Fletcher

Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher says he was left breathless after his over exuberant celebration following his late match winner against Wigan Athletic.

The forward notched his third goal in four games in the first minute of added time as Phil Parkinson's side rose to second in League One courtesy of their 2-1 victory over the Latics.

"I need to take a minute, the celebration was too much," admitted Fletcher.

"I knew straight away as soon as I started running."

It was the second game running in which the ex-Scotland international scored in the final stages to earn Wrexham victory following his winner against Blackpool on 26 December.

The Red Dragons remain unbeaten on home soil in the league this season having won 11 and drawn two of their 13 matches at the Stok Racecourse.

And Fletcher, 37, admits he has been taken aback by the strength Wrexham have consistently been able to show on their own patch since he joined the club from Dundee United in 2023.

"I'd like to have a bit more comfortable games, but it wouldn't be Wrexham without a bit of fun," added Fletcher.

"I don't know what it is about this place. I realised that when I first came.

"Something about this place, I don't know if it's the fans or something, but it carries us over the line all the time.

"It's credit to the lads and the gaffer. We keep going, he's got that mentality driven into us that we keep going to the end."
