Wrexham AFC are announcing that Joey Jones has decided to retire from his full-time position at the club. Joey is a club icon and rightfully known as Mr Wrexham building that reputation since he first joined us back in 1970 and has been a loyal servant for 30 years since returning to the club in 1987. Whilst he will no longer work full time, the fantastic news is that Joey will continue to perform many aspects of his role within the Youth Department at the Football Club as a volunteer going forward and will remain an integral part of the fabric of Wrexham AFC. Supporters will still see Joey training with the Youth Players at Nine Acre and providing valuable insight to the First Team on a Saturday at the Racecourse.

Joey said: "I've loved every minute of my time at Wrexham AFC and it's time to let others come to the fore and carry on the proud traditions of the club. The club continues to be a massive part of my life and whilst I am retiring from a full-time position, I will still be part of the future of the club and especially helping the younger generations make the transition to professional football like I did with Wrexham. I'm looking forward to the season ahead and hopefully we will be right up there."

Tremendous servant for the club over the years. Still, he won't be leaving altogether.

Should make him an honorary lifetime member of the trust or a VP.

Think Vice President of the Club would be most appropriate for a great servant and magnificent ambassador for Wrexham FC.

Thank you for all your hard work and commitment Joey. Glad to see you will still be a familiar face around the Racecourse.

I remember going along to a reserve match to see a couple of young 16 year olds play - Joey and Mickey. We knew then we were seeing two of our future stars and Joey has been a magnificent servant to our club. His retirement is fully deserved but I'm glad he's still going to be around. I get the feeling from his comments that he feels we may be on the cusp of a change in fortune. let's hope so.
