    George Thomason admits it has been "tough" being sidelined during what has been he describes as Wrexham's inconsistent campaign so far.

    The midfielder, who can also play wing-back, suffered a thigh injury in the home draw against Watford in August and subsequently missed 10 games in the Championship.

    The 25-year-old returned to first team action as a second half substitute in last Friday's 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

    "I was really frustrated to get injured early on in the season after what I thought was a pretty productive pre-season," Thomason said.

    "To be honest, ever since I got back out on the grass during my rehab, I've been itching to get back involved with the lads.

    "So, I was really pleased to be back amongst a squad and to get back on the pitch.

    "I'm feeling good and, as I say, I'm looking to stay fit for the rest of the campaign.

    "Hopefully I can kick on personally and as a team now."

    Wrexham have won three, drawn five and lost five of their opening 13 league games.

    Thomason is available after his comeback against the Blades for the back-to-back home games against Middlesbrough and Wolves this week.

    "It's always tough when you're part of the squad and you're forced to watch because you feel as though you can't contribute and help the boys out," Thomason added.

    "You almost feel a little bit guilty that you're not able to, as I say, help them out and you want to be around it.

    "We wanted to start better than we have done, no doubt about that. But I'm sure we're going to find that consistency and energy.

    "A bit similar to last year, hopefully we can kick on now that everyone's properly integrated and got a much better feel for the new signings and the new signings do for us."
