Max Cleworth, a centre-back, achieved a significant milestone for Wrexham AFC on Saturday, February 7, 2026. He became the club's leading appearance-maker during manager Phil Parkinson's tenure, recording 173 games. This occurred during Wrexham's 2-0 home defeat against Millwall in the Championship.
Cleworth joined Wrexham's youth academy in 2014 and signed his first professional contract in 2020. He spent a six-month loan spell at Caernarfon Town in 2021 before returning to the Red Dragons. He extended his contract with Wrexham in December 2022 and again in July 2024, securing his future until the conclusion of the 2026-27 season.
The defender has been integral to Wrexham's recent success, which has seen the club achieve successive promotions from the National League to League Two, and then into the Championship. Wrexham currently occupies a play-off position in the Championship, continuing their remarkable ascent through the English football pyramid.
