WHAT ARTHUR OKONKWO SAID

<p>Okonkwo has helped Wrexham to make history, becoming the first EFL side to secure three successive promotions, and is convinced that he made the right choice in accepting an offer to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-rivals-never-underestimate-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-pulling-power-former-manager-reacts-arthur-okonkwo-permanent-transfer/bltba4ff6ae51270716" target="_blank"> join an ambitious project</a> being pieced together by Phil Parkinson and Co: “When I spoke to the gaffer last summer before I joined, straight away I knew that this was the right move.
