Wrexham announce huge change behind the scenes with key figure set to leave the club

Wrexham have announced that Fleur Robinson will leave her role as Chief Executive at the end of the season.

The announcement comes after the Red Dragons successfully secured back-to-back promotions earlier in the month after a victory against Forest Green Rovers.

Goals from Elliot Lee, Paul Mullin, Ryan Barnett, Jack Marriott and an own goal by Ryan Inniss sealed a 6-0 victory for Phil Parkinson’s side, confirming their passage to the third tier of English football.

With the club now preparing for life in League One, there has been a big departure, which was announced on Friday afternoon.

A statement on the club’s official website read: “Wrexham AFC Chief Executive Officer Fleur Robinson is to leave the Club at the end of the season.

“Fleur has been in day-to-day charge of the club for three years having overseen its highly successful double promotion from the National League to EFL League One.

“The Club has confirmed the departure of Ms Robinson with the owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds thanking her for her leadership and outstanding contribution to the club’s success.”

Reynolds and McElhenney said: “We are extremely grateful for all that Fleur has done in transforming the club over the past couple of years and we wish her every success with her future plans.”

Robinson said: “It has been a privilege to lead Wrexham as CEO for past three years. I am proud that I leave the club in a much better position on and off the pitch than when I arrived.”

The departure of Robinson comes after the club announced that eight players have been released.

Aaron Hayden, Rob Lainton, Callum McFadzean, Ben Tozer, Jordan Tennicliffe, Luke Young, Owen Cushion and Dan Davies are all departing, having reached the end of their contracts.

Meanwhile, James McLean will have his contract automatically extended, and Steven Fletcher, Mark Howard and Aaron James will be offered new deals.
