Wrexham Omit Jay Rodriguez From Championship Squad Until January 2026

Reports say the 36-year-old will continue to earn about £25,000 a week while he cannot play.

Overview

  • Wrexham named a 24-man list for the Championship earlier this month, leaving Rodriguez and three others off the registered squad.
  • Under league rules, over-age players not on the list are ineligible for Championship matches until the next registration window in January 2026.
  • Manager Phil Parkinson says the club’s remaining squad slot is expected to go to midfielder Ollie Rathbone.
  • Rodriguez joined from Burnley in January on an 18-month deal and scored two goals in 18 appearances during last season’s promotion push.
  • Tabloid outlets report his weekly wage at roughly £25,000, implying around £500,000 in pay before he can be registered again, a figure not independently verified.
