Keates had three games as caretaker manager before being appointed as permanent successor to Gary Mills the afternoon of Wrexham’s game against Barrow.

The 38-year-old was therefore revved up for his first game in permanent charge of the club, but he perhaps let that energy get the better of him as the game unfolded.

Keates firstly could not contain his excitement as Wrexham found the net, punching assistant Andy Davies in the face during the celebrations.
