"To get to 250 at any club, I'm very proud of that because management is hard but I'm really enjoying my time here. We've got great owners and I enjoy every single day. When you reach those milestones, it's always great if you can celebrate with a victory."

Phil Parkinson's 250th game in charge ended with a 2-1 Wrexham win at Derby, the club's fourth victory in a row and leaving them one point off the Championship play-off places.
