Wrexham midfielder George Thomason says the club can be competitive in the Championship this season.
The Dragons are in English football’s second tier for the first time in 43 years after securing a third successive automatic promotion last season.
Thomason joined Wrexham from Bolton Wanderers on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee in July.
“We’re not just here to make numbers up – we’re here to win football matches,” Thomason told BBC Sport Wales as Wrexham looked forward to opening their campaign at Southampton next Saturday (12:30 BST).
“We want to have a real good crack at it. Who says you can’t go and have a real good go at it?
“Each time they’ve been promoted they’ve had questions asked of them, can they go again? And they have.
“It’s a team and group and culture of knowing how to win, so it’s exciting.
“From the fixtures that they’ve probably been away in the National League just a couple of years ago to now playing the likes of Southampton, West Brom, Leicester in this division, it’s a credit to everyone involved at the football club,
“I believe the fans absolutely deserve it as well.”
