Coady not ruling out Wrexham return after successful loan

Conor Coady says he cannot rule out the idea of returning to Wrexham next season after completing a successful loan spell at Charlton Athletic.

The 33-year-old joined Wrexham from Leicester City last summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £2m.

But the ex-England centre-back struggled for game time at Stok Cae Ras, making only six Wrexham appearances before moving to The Valley in January.

Coady, who believes his stint at Charlton has proved he can still cope with the rigours of the Championship, signed a two-year deal with the option of another season when he moved to Wales last August.

"When I went there last summer, it was something I really wanted to be a part of and sometimes I think people look at footballers and think something's happened," Coady said.

"Nothing's ever personal in football. Sometimes a manager just doesn't take to you and I think that was what it was. [But] I've got a really good relationship with Phil Parkinson - nothing's ever happened between us.

"I had a great relationship when I was there and they were brilliant with me in January when it came to maybe wanting to leave if there was an opportunity.

"Wrexham is a brilliant, brilliant club so I can't sit here now and rule anything out because I don't know what's going to happen."

Coady spent much of his time at Charlton in midfield, where he made 12 appearances – and scored once – as Nathan Jones' team secured Championship survival with a week of the season to spare.
