Wrexham urged to use promotion experience to their advantage in fight for final Championship play-off spot

Despite the disappointment, Leicester achieved promotion the following year.

"But we got promoted the year after and those experiences I can call upon, as well as numerous other lads who have been through the league," he added. "This football club is also used to winning promotions and hopefully we can bring that experience on Saturday."

James, who joined Wrexham in October 2024 and played a key role in their promotion from League One last season, has provided a crucial stabilising influence during the run-in.

This comes despite missing two months with a broken toe sustained against Millwall in February, an injury that still requires him to wear boots a couple of sizes too large due to swelling.

"For me it is just get your boots on, forget about it, go out there, play and perform," James stated, downplaying the ongoing discomfort.

"The adrenaline is running and I manage it through the week. Everyone’s excited when you’ve got big games. That’s what we train for, that’s what we play for."

He emphasised the significance of Wrexham's current standing.

"The achievement of being in this position is a big one. It’s about taking the opportunity now and the message for quite a long time has been about us."

As the final whistle approaches, James insists the focus remains internal: "I’m sure there’ll be things up and around the stadium and you’ll hear different things and stuff like that. But for us it’s about concentrating on our performance and our result."
