Wrexham

Max Cleworth

A homegrown centre back who has climbed every division alongside the club itself, from the National League up into the Championship without ever leaving. He still finds time to arrive at the back post and score more than a defender his size would usually manage.

Max Cleworth, The Defender Who Rose Every Level

He has never left the club that developed him, climbing four divisions since signing his first professional contract.

Cleworth signed his first contract with Wrexham as a teenager and has stayed through every promotion since, rising from the National League to the Championship without a permanent move away. He is a genuine goal threat for a centre back too, arriving at the far post often enough that opposition coaches have to factor him into set piece planning. They cannot simply treat him as just another body in the box.

The obvious question with a homegrown player who has never really been tested elsewhere is how his game holds up against Championship strikers who are faster and stronger than anything League One offered. Wrexham clearly believe in him enough to keep building around him. The step up still asks something different of a defender than climbing steadily through the divisions alongside the same coaches and teammates.
