Wrexham match stopped TWICE as horrendous head clashes see players stretchered off
Wrexham hosted Barrow at the Racecourse Ground on New Year’s Day, but the game had to be suspended as medical staff treated visiting star David Worrall after he suffered a head injury
Wrexham’s League Two clash with Barrow has been suspended for a second time, with Luca Stephenson stretched off following a nasty clash of heads.
Stephenson was a first-half replacement for David Worrall, who was himself stretched off after suffering a head injury. Just 11 minutes into the game, Worrall was involved in a nasty clash of heads that resulted in medics rushing onto the pitch.
The Barrow star received treatment for 10 minutes before being stretched off and replaced by Stephenson. Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds quickly sent his best wishes to Worrall, tweeting: “Hoping David Worrall is okay.”
At that stage in the game, Barrow were already a goal up after Kian Spence fired his shot past Dragons keeper Arthur Okonkwo just 33 seconds in. The match was then suspended due to Worrall’s injury before getting back underway at the 21 minute mark.
Earlier in the day, it was announced that Mullin had extended his contract with the Welsh side. The striker revealed his delight at putting pen to paper on a new deal.
“I’m unbelievably happy and grateful to extend my stay at Wrexham. Since signing for the Club, I’ve loved every single second. It’s not just become my Club, but my whole family also,” he said.
“The chance to perform in front of the support we receive is something you long for as a child. Here’s to creating more memories to last a lifetime – up the town!”
Elliott Lee has also committed his future to Wrexham, with manager Phil Parkinson pleased to have completed two crucial pieces of business at the very start of the January window.NT Sports gives you access to games across the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Serie A and many more.
