Broadhead seeks Wrexham and Wales double in 2026

Nathan Broadhead believes that his quest for a play-off double with Wrexham and Wales in 2026 is increasing in consistency.

The 27-year-old put together a strong performance in a 5-3 thriller win over Sheffield United on December 26 before scoring the opener in a 2-1 victory over Preston North End.

And now that 2025 has come to an impressive conclusion, Broadhead claims to have lofty goals in mind.

He expressed his hope for Wrexham, “I think play-offs would be amazing, but there’s still a long way to go.”

During Wales’ 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, Broadhead scored against both Belgium and North Macedonia.

In the play-off semi-finals at Cardiff City Stadium on March 26, he is now hoping to play a crucial role under Craig Bellamy, with Italy or Northern Ireland hosting the winner of that match five days later.

“I’m anticipating that,” she said. We can hopefully get through, Broadhead said, and I’m buzzing for that.

As Preston’s top scorer turned provider, as Kieffer Moore netted his fifth Wrexham goal of the season from the penalty spot at Stok Cae Ras.

Given that the Lilywhites were under more pressure in the second half, according to the 17-cap international, his side had to display a number of different qualities to win.

“I didn’t anticipate him (Moore) crossing it, but thanks to my effort, I did the defender and, thankfully, my header went in,” said Broadhead.

“I’m puffed up that we received three points. I believed that while the first half went well, the second half saw some back-to-wall action.

“But obviously we won,” that is the key phrase.

Broadhead, who has started seven of Wrexham’s previous 10 league games and has started just two of the first 13 since moving from Ipswich Town, believes he is better suited to his current position.

“I believe the position I’m playing suits me better. He explained that I enjoy playing the left side number 10.
