Fueled by ambition, Wrexham secured consecutive promotions with a resounding 6-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. This emphatic win guarantees them a top-three finish in League Two and rewrites the script for Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Paul Mullin’s double spearheaded the rout against the league’s basement club, propelling Wrexham to 82 points from 44 games. With two matches remaining, their promotion to League One is mathematically confirmed.
Defeats for MK Dons and Barrow ensured Wrexham’s place in the top three is unassailable. This means a return to the English third tier next season, their first since the 2004-05 campaign.
Reynolds and McElhenney took charge of the club in November 2020. After missing out on promotion from the National League in their first full season, they finally ended Wrexham’s 15-year absence from professional football in 2022-23.
The captivating journey of Wrexham under its celebrity ownership has been documented in the acclaimed series “Welcome to Wrexham,” attracting international attention.
While Stockport County, the league leaders, have also secured promotion to League One, the battle for the third automatic promotion spot remains open. Mansfield Town are currently favored to claim that final prize.
