James McClean: Fan incident ‘dealt with’, says Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson


Wrexham say the incident involving James McClean punching a Cardiff City fan has been “dealt with”.

The 36-year-old said he felt “threatened” by some Bluebirds supporters prior to the EFL Cup contest between the sides at the Stok Cae Ras on 28 October.

McClean told Talksport: “I’m in my workplace and I feel I should never feel threatened in that workplace… I wasn’t waiting for him to make the first swing. So I did.”

The Republic of Ireland international added: “Somehow, there were four male Cardiff fans – late 20s, early 30s.

“They recognised me [and] immediately started running their mouths off at me. I ignored the first jibe.

“The second, I responded to and I confronted them about it.

“Words were said. One of them, a tall chap with glasses, made a hostile move towards me.”
