Parkinson swapped his customary casual look on the touchline for a suit as Wrexham councillors bestowed the honour on the Dragons boss, who has guided the club into the Championship after three successive promotions.

Wrexham co-owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds were awarded the city’s highest civic honour in April 2023.

“It's a great honour and it is very humbling to be given the award,” boss Parkinson said ahead of this lunchtime's home league game against Derby.
