The shock departure of chief executive Michael Williamson, after just over two years at the club, was announced on Friday afternoon,

Club director Shaun Harvey will take over as acting chief executive following the unexpected change at the top.

Williamson joined Wrexham as CEO in 2024, shortly after the club had secured promotion to League One.

Wrexham then clinched a record-breaking third successive promotion and he leaves with the Reds currently 15th in the Championship.

Parkinson revealed Reynolds personally informed him of the news and although he insists his attention is firmly on football matters - Wrexham drew 1-1 against high-flying Wolves at The Racecourse on Saturday - he welcomed Harvey's continued involvement given his longstanding connection to the club's transformation under the Hollywood owners.

"Ryan spoke to me yesterday (Friday) morning to let me know the news," said Parkinson.

"Obviously, my focus has just been on the game really.

"I had a brief chat with Shaun this (Saturday) morning and obviously Shaun is back in a more official capacity, but he has always been around.

"He has been here since day one, he has been an important figure and he understands everything about the club because he was one of the key people in starting off this journey with the owners."
