James McClean has shared the reason he is having so much fun playing for Wrexham after joining the team in the summer.
The 34-year-old Irish winger McClean was acquired by Wrexham from Wigan for an undisclosed sum last summer, and he has since emerged as a fan favorite at the SToK Racecourse. With 26 games played so far this season, he hopes to assist the Red Dragons in earning a second straight promotion. McClean has now given a detailed explanation of why he is content with his new life in Wales.
McClean said, via the Leader: “I’m having a great time. That comes from having a good dressing room. When you have a good dressing room, you look forward to coming into work. It really helps.”
The former Premier League star did concede that winning games has played its part too, adding: “The biggest thing in football is winning games, there is nothing more enjoyable. When you are winning games and you are happy, it’s a great place to be and long may it continue.”
McClean has spent much of his career playing in the Premier League for clubs including Sunderland, West Brom and Stoke City, but in the summer he dropped down to League Two to play for Ryan Reynold’s and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham. He appears to be relishing that nrw challenge as the Red Dragons are currently second in the table, two points behind leaders Stockport County with a game in hand.
WHAT NEXT FOR MCCLEAN AND WREXHAM?
Next up for McClean and Wrexham is a Welsh derby against Newport County at Rodney Parade on Saturday. After that, they’ll look ahead to a FA Cup fourth round trip to Championship side Blackburn Rovers on Monday, January 29.
