Josh Johnson determined to impress Wrexham's boss.
Wrexham Evening Leader.
Josh Johnson is hoping to make an impact during his trial at Wrexham. The Trinidadian yesterday spent the first day of his trial training at Colliers Park.
Johnson, who has been capped at under 21 and 23 level for Trinidad and Tobago, played for former Wrexham striker Hector Sam’s old club San Juan Jabloteh last season but is determined to make the grade in British football – hopefully with the Reds.
“I am looking for a new challenge and want to play at this level,” said Johnson today. “I have seen what other Trinidad players have done and coming over here definitely improved their game and helped us qualify for the World Cup.
“I will do my best while at Wrexham on trial, but I believe in my own ability and think I can do a good job. I am really looking forward to it and although it is the biggest step I have ever taken, hope to impress in my time at Wrexham.”
Johnson has a reputation as being a pacy winger who can also score goals and saw a possible place in Trinidad’s World Cup squad taken by another former Wrexham player, Carlos Edwards.
Dennis Lawrence, who enjoyed an outstanding tournament with the Soca Warriors, remains at The Racecourse and Johnson is impressed with the set-up at the club.
“Carlos Edwards and Hector have played at Wrexham, and Dennis is still here, and if I can take this step it will help my career. I know it is a good club to come to and the facilities are excellent. I am excited about this and hope to do well,” added Johnson.
