The Wrexham Down Under tour concludes in New Zealand on Saturday. The Dragons play Wellington Phoenix before returning home, where Parkinson will no doubt have more friendly fixtures lined up before Wrexham play Southampton on the opening day of the 2025/26 Championship season on August 9th.
Whether or not Rathbone makes that game remains to be seen. But fans may be intrigued to know that Rathbone has now been spotted in a training picture from New Zealand, and interestingly, he’s the only player wearing a coat: all the others are in training gear, seemingly ready to train.
One attentive Wrexham fan spotted it, posting: “Only him and [CEO Michael] Williamson in the big coats.” Whether or not it suggests that Rathbone wasn’t training or not remains unclear, but it’s certainly interesting, and slightly worrying.
