“I’d decided before the end of last season I wanted to do it, because it feels like home. “The fans took to me so warmly, Phil Parkinson is brilliant, (assistant manager) Steve Parkin is top class, I love (goalkeeping coach) Aidan Davison to bits, and the co-chairmen are out of this world. Phil Parkinson’s side clinched the title with a game to spare to ensure their 15-year stay in the fifth tier finally came to an end.įoster, who played in the Premier League for Watford as recently as last year, told the club’s official website: “At the end of last season it was obvious that I enjoyed being at the club, I loved being part of the team and everything that Wrexham stands for. He provided one of the National League’s moments of the season with a brilliant stoppage-time penalty save against fellow promotion hopefuls Notts County in April, preserving a 3-2 lead and sending Wrexham top of the table.

It would be foolish to suggest you swap your allegiance from the Springboks or the All Blacks to the Wallabies, or from say Collingwood to the Dockers or the Eagles, (it would be strange if you did), but at least knowing a bit about the local teams will help you fit in and feel more at home.Ben Foster has signed a new one-year contract with Wrexham following their return to the English Football League.

Australians love to talk about two things in particular: sport and the weather.
