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

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

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