Wrexham men and women set for The Soccer Tournament in US
Last summer, a friendly between the sides kicked-off Wrexham's unbeaten Wrex Coast Tour ahead of their promotion-winning League One campaign. And the clubs are all set to clash again next week when the Soccer Tournament (TST) gets underway in North Carolina - with Ben Tozer set to pull on a Wrexham shirt once more. For the third consecutive year, Wrexham Red Dragons take their spot in the event, which will be played in Cary, and the men continue their tilt at the $1 million prize against Bournemouth in their second Group F game on Wednesday, June 4. The Dragons will open their tournament against Real Athletico earlier in the day, while the group is completed by the CONCAFA SC. Wrexham Red Dragons women are also set for the competition, which starts in Group B with a clash versus Ultrain FC. Kansas City II and Drunken Monkeys are the other two teams in the group. 'TST soccer is electrifying,' said TST CEO Jon Mugar. 'Our goal is to become the preeminent soccer festival in the world. Judging by the number of returning fans and teams, we are well on our way. 'We have doubled the size of the women's field and a record 64 teams will compete in Cary. I can't wait to see the level of competition this June!' Wrexham Red Dragons men advanced to the round of 16 in both 2023 and 2024, scoring more goals than any other team in TST history. Goalkeeper Mark Howard has been a standout figure, keeping clean sheets and scoring clutch Target Score Time goals. Another impressive player has been striker George Boyd, holding the title of the tournament's all-time leading scorer with 11 goals. Former club captain Tozer, who this week announced his retirement, will represent Wrexham at the tournament. Men's squad: Aaron James; Abraham Rodriguez; Alex Moore; Ben Tozer; Brandon Barker; Callum Edwards; David Jones; George Boyd; Harry Ashfield; Jake Hyde; Liam McAlinden; Marc Albrighton; Navid Nasseri; Sak Hassan; Thomas Kelly; Yannick Parkes.
