Josh Windass was pleased to produce a "special" night for Wrexham fans as they overcame Ipswich Town to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Windass netted the only goal of the contest as Phil Parkinson's men reached the last-16 of the competition for the first time in 29 years.

"Our main focus is the league but these nights are nice to win and get through," Windass said.

"The fans are the most important people at any club, and if they can have nights like this then it's special for them."

Windass' 34th minute strike against the Tractor Boys was the forward's ninth goal of the campaign across all competitions.

It comes on the back of what has been a testing spell for the summer signing - who has been playing through an injury.

"It's been frustrating. The last two months or so, I was injured quite a bit," added the 32-year-old.

"I was playing through injury quite a lot, so it was frustrating not being able to play my best stuff. When you're playing through knocks and stuff, it's difficult.

"We played a lot over Christmas, we won a lot of games, I still scored a lot of goals.

"Playing through injury was a bit difficult, but I'm fine now."
