WREXHAM manager Phil Parkinson said he felt “proud” after his team marked his 250th game in charge with a 2-1 win at Derby.

Parkinson celebrated a fourth victory in a row as the Welsh side moved to within one point of the playoff places.

Wrexham had started like a team in form and could have scored twice before Sam Smith finished clinically from close range in the 25th minute.

Ben Brereton Diaz levelled from just inside the area eight minutes later, but Matty James’ superb strike from outside the box in the 48th minute settled matters.

“To get to 250 at any club, I’m very proud of that because management is hard but I’m really enjoying my time here,” Parkinson said.
