Elliot Lee shows Wrexham value of transfer patience as he targets ‘another promotion’
Elliot Lee is proof that patience amid a transfer window can bring the ultimate reward.
The 28-year-old, Wrexham’s goalscorer on an afternoon when a 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon brought a first point in the EFL since 2008, took some convincing to drop to non-League when the Welsh club came calling last summer.

He had umpteen offers from clubs in divisions above, as was to be expected after five years at Luton Town that included back-to-back promotions and impressive spells on loan with Charlton Athletic and Oxford United in League One.
Parkinson, just as he has been during this transfer window, was determined to wait for his man. That patience was rewarded with 12 goals and eight assists as Wrexham won the National League in record-breaking fashion.
Now back in League Two, Lee was at it again on an afternoon when Wrexham adopted a new attacking set-up to try and minimise the loss of Paul Mullin to injury.
