Parkinson 'very determined and strong-minded in what he does'

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has "earned the right" to manage in the Championship once again after leading his side to a third successive automatic promotion.

Parkinson says he is relishing a return to the Championship with Wrexham following the "complete and utter carnage" of his last stint in the division with Bolton Wanderers.

Having led Bolton into the Championship in 2017 and kept them in the division the following season amid turmoil at the club when players were not paid for months, Parkinson was unable to keep the Trotters in the second tier for a second successive year.

Ex-Wales international Andy Legg was a team-mate of Parkinson's at Reading and told the Radio Wales Sport Phone In:

"He's earned the right," Legg told

"He's been there with Bolton and he said he had a bad time with Bolton and wants to put that right.

"He's that type of person – he's very determined, strong-minded in what he does.

"He doesn't take second best and he'll make sure everybody will work hard and you can see that with his players on the pitch.

"I do hope that, if they do have a sticky patch, stick with him but I think Wrexham will stick with him."
