Wrexham have spent heavily in the summer transfer window as they are looking to bolster the squad ahead of competing in the second tier of English football. They have signed eight new players thus far, with Thomason being the club’s third most expensive transfer deal after Liberato Cacace and Conor Coady. As the 24-year-old is gearing up to make his debut for the Red Dragons, he remains confident the club can survive in the Championship in the 2025-26 campaign.

Speaking to BBC Sport Thomason said: “We’re not just here to make numbers up – we’re here to win football matches. We want to have a real good crack at it. Who says you can’t go and have a real good go at it? Each time they’ve been promoted they’ve had questions asked of them, can they go again? And they have.u0026nbsp;

“It’s a team and group and of knowing how to win, so it’s exciting. From the fixtures that they’ve probably been away in the just a couple of years ago to now playing the likes of , West Brom, in this division, it’s a credit to everyone involved at the football club. I believe the fans absolutely deserve it as well.”

While speaking about his new boss Phil Parkinson, the English midfielder added: “He’s a manager that’s been around the game for many, many years, and as I keep alluding to he’s been very successful. He didn’t have to sell me too much on what the club’s all about. He told me massively about the culture and the ambition of where we want to stride towards and that’s something I really want to be a part of. From the outside looking in and stuff it’s been a real successful club on and off the pitch and they’ve shown real ambition. “So, it’s exciting to join right now – it’s an exciting time to be part of the football club.”

Wrexham will kick off the new season on Saturday as they take on Southampton in their Championship opener away from home.
