As the January transfer window draws closer, Wrexham fans are bracing themselves for difficult decisions that could reshape the squad. While the club continues its ambitious rise through the English football pyramid, the reality of competition, contracts, and squad evolution means several familiar faces may be approaching the end of their journey at the Racecourse Ground. Sadly, three players stand out as those who may have already played their final minutes in a Wrexham shirt.
First on the list is James McClean, whose experience and leadership have been invaluable since joining the club. However, with age catching up and younger options emerging on the left flank, Wrexham may look to refresh the position. McClean’s contract situation only strengthens the belief that a January exit is increasingly likely.
Next is Jordan Tunnicliffe, a solid defender who has struggled with injuries and limited playing time this season. Despite his reliability when fit, the competition in defence has intensified, and the club may decide to move him on to create space for new defensive reinforcements.
Finally, Jacob Mendy could also be heading for the exit door. The dynamic full-back has shown flashes of brilliance, but inconsistency and reduced minutes under Phil Parkinson have raised questions about his long-term role. With interest from League One clubs reportedly growing, a January departure would not be surprising.
As Wrexham strengthens for a promotion push, tough choices are inevitable. For these three players, the next few weeks may determine whether their time at the club has already reached its emotional end.
