Ex-Wrexham player calls for better support for released young athletes

Hari Roberts, a former Wrexham AFC player, advocates for increased support for young athletes released from clubs after a professional rejection. At 18, Roberts faced mental health struggles when he learned he would not be offered a contract. Though he appreciates the support offered by clubs, he believes it is insufficient for those coping with such significant life changes. Running has played a crucial role in his recovery, helping him regain resilience. Roberts completed marathons in Sydney and London, and he plans to run in Tokyo next year, focusing on mental health awareness.
