Okonkwo 'improving all the time' - Parkinson

Phil Parkinson says Arthur Okonkwo is "improving all the time" after the goalkeeper made his 100th league appearance for Wrexham against Portsmouth.

The 24-year-old has been a pivotal figure in the Red Dragons' rise up the football pyramid since joining from Arsenal in 2023, initially on loan before signing a permanent deal a year later.

He started the current Championship season as second choice shot stopper behind summer signing Danny Ward.

However, Okonkwo has started 30 successive league matches since Ward sustained an elbow injury and is continuing to keep the fit-again Wales international out of the starting line-up.

"Arthur's a very influential signing for us when we first brought him in," said Parkinson.

"He's a player who's adapted, he's had a few injuries along the way, his jaw and his wrist. He's always come back and responded really well.

"He's a young goalkeeper improving all the time."

Okonkwo's current contract with Wrexham expires following the conclusion of the 2026-27 campaign.
