Former Wrexham player and manager Brian Flynn believes the Red Dragons will bolster their ranks in the summer to ensure they are "stronger and better" in 2026-27.

Phil Parkinson's men narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs as they were pipped to sixth spot by Hull City on the final day of the 2025-26 regular season.

Nevertheless, Wrexham secured their highest-ever league finish, and Flynn believes his former club will only improve next term.

"I think they need at least three or four players. Is that a major overhaul? I don't think so," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.

"He does like employing strikers, that's for certain, Phil does do that.

"In all other areas of the pitch, I think they're well served.

"They've got players like [Dom] Hyam, he's been excellent all season. He's been a really good signing.

"Players like Ollie Rathbone have come up with important goals, Josh Windass is a Championship player, so they will definitely come back stronger and better next season, without a shadow of a doubt."

The Red Dragons signed off their season with an exciting 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough at Stok Cae Ras.

After Tommy Conway had given Boro an early lead, Wrexham went 2-1 up thanks to Josh Windass' stunning free-kick and Sam Smith's bullet header.

But Kim Hellberg's men - who take on Southampton in the play-off semi-finals - earned a point thanks to David Strelec's goal shortly after Smith had given the home side the lead.

"It was two really good teams," Flynn said of the contest in north Wales.
