Carlos Edwards has revealed all about his return to watch Wrexham on the opening day of the season.
- Carlos Edwards made a special return to Wrexham AFC’s first game of the season after 10 years away.
- Wrexham have made a comfortable transition back to the Football League and look like they could secure another promotion.
- Wrexham is currently in third place, with a one-point lead over fourth place and a 10-point lead over eighth place.
- Former Wrexham winger Carlos Edwards has revealed he was invited to Wrexham AFC’s first game of this campaign, which ended in a 5-3 defeat to MK Dons.
- The 45-year-old had a very long and quite successful football career, which saw him play for the likes of Wrexham, Luton Town, Sunderland, Wolves, and Ipswich Town.
The Red Dragons were Edwards’ first club in England, as he joined them in 2000 from Defence Force, a side from Trinidad and Tobago.
Edwards played 128 games for the Welsh club, during which time he scored 16 goals and chipped in with five assists.
Wrexham were lowly in the EFL at the time Edwards arrived, but in his final season at the club, they found themselves in League One.
However, nearly 20 years on, Wrexham are now back in the Football League and have taken to life very well as they bid to earn back-to-back promotions.
