Josh Windass: Wrexham's Key Player and Transfer Speculation with Rangers
Wrexham narrowly missed out on the play-offs in the 2025/26 Championship season, finishing in seventh place, their highest-ever EFL finish. The team, under Phil Parkinson, saw significant player turnover but managed to have a successful season. One standout player was Josh Windass, who joined the club last summer and had an impressive season, scoring 16 goals and providing five assists. Windass was named Wrexham's Player of the Season and has attracted interest from his former club, Rangers, who are looking to bring him back to Scotland. Despite the speculation, there have been no official talks between the two clubs yet.
Windass has a history with Rangers, having played there between 2016 and 2018 before moving to Wigan Athletic. His former coach at Sheffield Wednesday, Danny Rohl, is keen on reuniting with him at Rangers. Windass's goal-scoring prowess has been evident throughout his career, and his contributions were crucial for Wrexham's push for the play-offs this season. As Wrexham looks to build on their success and make a promotion push next season, retaining key players like Windass will be essential.
With the focus shifting to strengthening the squad with impactful additions rather than major changes, keeping players like Windass will be crucial for Wrexham's progress. Parkinson will be looking to build on the foundation laid last season and ensure that the core group of players remains intact. Windass's form and experience will be vital as Wrexham aims to secure a play-off spot or even push for automatic promotion in the upcoming season.
