Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson is hopeful that there will be some new faces in his squad before the Summer window closes.

Will Boyle has been the only signing the Reds have made so far this window, with the centre-half joining from Huddersfield Town.

As the club prepares for life back in League Two, Parkinson is looking to add to the squad as they go in search of another promotion.

The Reds are the clear bookies' favourites for the title and are odds on to gain back-to-back promotions. 

When asked if he hopes to get more bodies through the door before the window closes in September, Parkinson said:

"Yes, to answer your question. It's been challenging but when you're going for players at clubs who don't want to sell, it's difficult.

"Have we missed out on anybody out of contract who I'm thinking 'Wow we should've got him?' - no. But there's players in contracts at clubs who we've been trying to strike up deals for but it's proved difficult at times but I'm sure we'll get there. 

"We're working towards adding to the squad, however, we've built a team and from day one since I met the owners, we spoke about building a squad to take the club up and progress again and we've signed players who I believe are ready to embark on the journey with us.”

Parkinson also provided an update on star striker Paul Mullin, who suffered a punctured lung during the Reds' 3-1 win over Manchester United on the pre-season tour of America.

The Reds boss said: “He's still in California, so it's not the worst place to be, but I'm sure he'd rather be here. I find it sad that all the work Paul has done and the contribution he's made that he's not running out in the first game back in the EFL.

"However, that's football, he's got another week over there before he's allowed to fly back and then we'll assess him and probably put out a more definitive time frame on it then."
