Parkinson and Cleworth nominated for League One awards

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson and defender Max Cleworth have been nominated for the League One manager and player of month awards for November.

Parkinson, who was manager of the month in August, has been nominated again after three league wins in four games.

The Dragons, who are second in the table, beat Mansfield Town, Exeter City and Lincoln City in November.

Parkinson, who was appointed in July 2021, has led Wrexham to back-to-back promotions which have seen them rise from the National League to English football's third tier, where they last played 19 years ago.

Cleworth has been influential in a Wrexham defence which conceded only one league goal in November.

The 22-year-old also scored twice last month, in the league against Exeter and in the EFL Trophy against Port Vale, and is now Wrexham's joint top goalscorer this season with five goals.

The award winners will be announced on Friday, 13 December.
