James Jones and Anthony Forde part of the Wrexham family
Jones joined the Reds in August 2021 from Lincoln City and he was joined in north Wales by Forde the following year after leaving Oxford United. Both players helped Wrexham clinch the National League title following a record-breaking 2022-23 season and the pair celebrated a second promotion in a row when the Reds finished runners-up in League Two 12 months later. However, Jones and Forde found opportunities limited this term and both signed for Burton Albion following the turn of the year, meaning they weren't at The Racecourse when Parkinson's men secured an historic third successive promotion after taking second spot in League One. Despite dealing with personal issues, both played have played their part in the success story and the Reds' boss will never forget what they have done for the club. "These lads are part of the Wrexham family and they mean a lot to us because of what James and Fordy have been through with their families," he said. "James was excellent. He's another player who unfortunately this year had a couple of injuries; every time he's got going again, he's had a bit of a setback which is unusual for him because he's not a player who's picked up injuries before. "While that's happened, players like Andy Cannon, George Dobson and Ollie Rathbone have stepped up. "With the offer of an 18 month contract at Burton, he's got a young family and we couldn't stand in this way but we'll always be keeping in touch with him." Forde, still recovering from a back problem which saw him miss the second half of the 2023-24 campaign, wasn't included in the Wrexham squad submitted to the EFL for the first half of the season and he was allowed to move on. "It's been tough for Fordy because he had the back injury and it took him a while to come back, and his opportunities were limited," said Parkinson. "But he's been brilliant for us. Even when he's been out the team, he's been such a great lad. MORE WREXHAM AFC NEWS "He's had an interesting journey with us in, in terms of on and off the pitch, and we think a lot of Fordy as a lad. "But it was the right thing for him because he found a club and was able to get himself back playing again." Forde came on as substitute for Burton who suffered a 3-0 defeat at The Racecourse in April while Jones was absent through injury. "Fordy got a great reception from our fans when he was warming up and rightly so," added Parkinson. "He is one of the great lads we've had who's been on this journey with us and it was good to see him."

14-time Isle of Man TT winner begins recovery from horror crash
The 38-year-old came off his 8TEN Racing BMW Superstock machine at Kerrowmoar on Friday evening around 10 minutes into the session, resulting in a red flag. Hickman sustained chest, back, shoulder and facial injuries in the spill, which happened close to where he crashed while leading last year's Senior race at Ginger Hall. Kerrowmoar, a left-hand bend, comes soon after the Ginger Hall section, with riders estimated to be taking the corner at around 100mph. In an official statement yesterday, Hickman was reported to be 'comfortable' in Noble's Hospital, where he was taken by air ambulance from the scene of the crash. 'Peter Hickman, bike number 10, came off at Kerrowmoar on the opening lap of the third qualifying session of TT 2025,' said the official condition update. 'He was reported as conscious and stable, and taken via AirMed to Noble's Hospital where he is currently being treated for chest, back, shoulder, and facial injuries.' The Burton-on-Trent rider is one of the biggest names at the TT and drew level with legendary TT legend Mike Hailwood's tally of 14 victories in 2024, when he won the Superbike race. However, it was his only win at the event 12 months ago, with the victory coming after Northern Ireland's Michael Dunlop lost a 25-second lead when he had to stop and adjust the visor on his helmet, which hadn't been correctly fastened during his second pit stop. Hickman finished as the runner-up to Davey Todd in the Superstock race last year and claimed two second places in the Supertwin races behind Dunlop. The 136mph outright lap record-holder was outside of the podium places in the Supersport races in what was an unusually average TT by Hickman's lofty standards. He was aiming to make amends this year with his new 8TEN Racing BMW team, which he set up with co-owner Todd after they split from Faye Ho's FHO Racing BMW squad. Hickman's unfortunate crash will also deprive fans of the chance to see him go head-to-head with record 29-time TT winner Dunlop after recent controversy at the North West 200. Hickman was fuming after Dunlop did not receive a penalty when he failed to stop at the Magherabuoy chicane when they both overshot. Hickman also did not stop but veered over to the stop box and made an attempt to put his foot down. He later said he should have received a penalty but was left stewing after Dunlop won the race, catching and passing Todd on the final lap. Hickman refused to take his place on the podium afterwards and said he had 'probably' ridden in his last race at the North West 200. With Hickman out of the TT, Todd will now be carrying 8TEN Racing's hopes on his shoulders as he goes up against Dunlop and Honda Racing contender Dean Harrison, who has been impressive across the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport classes in qualifying. English rider Tom Weeden also suffered injuries in a crash on Friday during qualifying after coming off at the Glen Helen section. A statement said he was being treated for back, leg and ankle injuries. 'Tom Weeden, bike number 33, came off at Glen Helen,' said the TT organisers. 'He was taken to Noble's Hospital via AirMed where he is currently being treated for back, leg and ankle injuries. 'The Isle of Man TT Races send their best wishes to both Peter and Tom, and thank the Marshals and the MRMS medical team for their continued diligence and professionalism.'
