Wrexham AFC fans have been handed a wave of nostalgia and optimism as former Welsh international and club legend Arfon Griffiths makes a long-awaited return to the Racecourse Ground. The highly respected figure is set to rejoin the club in a new role as a training agent, marking a homecoming that carries deep emotional and footballing significance.
Griffiths, widely regarded as one of the finest players to ever wear the red of Wrexham, enjoyed a distinguished career at the club, where his leadership, technical intelligence, and commitment made him a fan favourite. His influence extended beyond club football, having represented Wales with pride and distinction during his playing days.
Now back at the Racecourse in a developmental capacity, Griffiths is expected to play a key role in shaping training structures, mentoring players, and passing on his wealth of experience to the next generation. His appointment aligns perfectly with Wrexham’s long-term vision of blending modern football ambition with the club’s rich heritage.
Sources close to the club suggest that manager Phil Parkinson and the ownership group see Griffiths’ return as a strategic move, particularly in reinforcing club identity and professionalism within the training environment. For younger players, working closely with a figure of Griffiths’ stature offers invaluable insight into what it truly means to represent Wrexham AFC.
For supporters, this move is about more than football. It is about legacy, loyalty, and pride. Arfon Griffiths is not just coming back to work—he is coming home, and the Racecourse Ground will once again benefit from the presence of a true Wrexham icon.
