"In Saturday's game against Millwall Cleworth became the leading appearance-maker of Phil Parkinson's reign, surpassing Paul Mullin's 172 games under the English boss. Cleworth, still only 23, is Wrexham's final on-field survivor of the National League days, though Davis Keillor-Dunn and Ryan Barnett, who has played 12 times in the league this season, have recently returned. Since his debut while a 17-year-old academy player in the Scottish Challenge Cup in 2019, the Chester-born defender has made 175 appearances in red."
"Cleworth's influence has grown at the other end too, with four goals this season, including the dramatic stoppage time equaliser at Blackburn in November 2025. Cleworth signed his first professional contract in 2020 before a loan to Caernarfon Town for regular games. He returned to start in Parkinson's first ever match as Wrexham manager, a 2-2 draw at Solihull Moors in August 2021."
