Worrall out to make Wrexham point after Burnley exit

Former Burnley defender Joe Worrall has moved to Wrexham with the aim of proving a Premier League point to himself after leaving his previous club on deadline day. The 29-year-old, who made 27 appearances in two years at Turf Moor, expressed frustration at not being able to play more in the top-flight under manager Scott Parker.

Worrall, who captained Nottingham Forest to play-off success in 2024, is now focused on making an impact at Wrexham as they aim for a third career promotion. Despite the club's early-season struggles, Worrall believes the team has the quality to bounce back and secure a place in the Premier League. Wrexham manager Nicky Parkinson praised Worrall's personality and expects him to play a key role in the team's progress.
