Wrexham first-team coach David Jones believes the club's participation in The Soccer Tournament is a brilliant chance to showcase the history of the Red Dragons to a new audience.
Jones, who also manages the club's reserves, has been appointed Wrexham Red Dragons player/head coach for the unique seven-a-side tournament which begins on June 1 in Cary, North Carolina. The tournament will see 32 teams including Premier League sides West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and US Women's Soccer, compete for a chance to win $1m.
Fixtures will be completed in a traditional World Cup style but matches will be played over two, 20-minute halves. A winner is determined by what the organisers call 'target score time'. This period is untimed and will see both teams having to reach a certain number of goals to win the match.
