'I'll be turning my phone off' - Parkinson on players' Vegas trip

Phil Parkinson joked he would switch off his phone while his Wrexham players celebrate a third successive promotion in Las Vegas later this month.

Wrexham finished their League One campaign with a 2-0 win at Lincoln City on Saturday.

Having sent players to the United States following promotion from the National League and then League Two, co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney promised the squad a third visit to the famous 'Strip' should they secure their place in the Championship for next season.

"We will be going to Vegas. I can't wait. That's the main thing this week," defender Max Cleworth told BBC Radio Wales after his side's 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic last weekend.

"The lads love it, I can't wait. I don't think I'll sleep until we go."

And manager Parkinson says the carrot of a trip to Nevada's 'Sin City' has given his players an added incentive to achieve success under the ownership of Hollywood duo Reynolds and McElhenney.

"They deserve the trip," he told BBC Sport Wales.

"To create history, and the owners said at the start of the season that they'd go again.

"That's a good target as well during the season, not just getting promotion and what it means to everybody.

"Having that group together next week [in Vegas] will be amazing.

"I'll be turning my phone off. I just want a message when they're all back in the country in one piece and that's all I need to know."
