Josh Windass has moved swiftly to silence speculation surrounding his future by reaffirming his long-term commitment to Wrexham, insisting his “ambition is exactly the same” as that of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, despite growing interest from Premier League side Newcastle United.
The in-form midfielder has been a standout figure in Phil Parkinson’s squad this season, delivering commanding performances that have not gone unnoticed beyond the Championship. Reports linking Newcastle United to Windass sparked excitement and concern among Wrexham supporters, with the Magpies understood to be monitoring his progress as they look to add depth and versatility to their midfield.
However, Windass has made it clear that his focus remains firmly at the Racecourse Ground. Speaking on the speculation, the 30-year-old stressed that Wrexham’s project aligns perfectly with his own personal drive and career goals. “The ambition here matches mine,” Windass said. “What Ryan and Rob want to achieve with this club is exactly what I want as a player — to keep pushing forward, breaking barriers, and making history.”
Since arriving at Wrexham, Windass has embraced the culture and vision instilled by the Hollywood owners, who have transformed the club’s profile both on and off the pitch. Promotion dreams, long-term sustainability, and a fearless mindset have become central to the club’s identity, and Windass believes he has a major role to play in that journey.
While Premier League interest naturally flatters any player, Wrexham remain confident of retaining one of their key assets. With Windass publicly committing to the club’s ambitions, the message is clear: his heart, for now, remains firmly in North Wales.
