“Very pleased for Jenny and all the staff and the team and the club in general,” Parkinson said.
“And obviously very pleased for them to get the job done with a week to go.
“It was great to watch and how much it meant to everybody when the final whistle went.”
Wrexham, who will represent Wales in the Champions League, will receive the Adran Premier trophy when they face Swansea City in their final game on Sunday.
The club’s Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, pledged investment into the women’s programme when they took over in February 2021.
“Women’s football has gained significantly in popularity over the last few years,” Parkinson added.

“And obviously we’ve had to catch up with the development of the team and the whole squad which Jenny has taken on board this season.
“Straight from the off, the owners have always been very committed to being inclusive as a football club with all areas and obviously the women’s team is an integral part of that.”
