A-League Men News
After long flights, cold early-morning training, visits to the MCG, and many promotional interviews, Wrexham actually got to play a match. And won.
Chief football officer Ernie Merrick has become the latest high-profile figure to depart Football Australia as the organisation experiences further upheaval following the exit of former chief executive James Johnson.
Plenty has changed for Wayne Jones, one of the breakout stars of the "Welcome To Wrexham" documentary series, and his beloved team since the last time he was in Australia back in 2005.
Wrexham may be on the other side of the world, but that hasn't stopped coach Phil Parkinson staying up late talking to agents and potential signings.
Wrexham have landed! The Welsh club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have arrived in Melbourne to begin their preseason tour Down Under.
