Wrexham’s short-term ambitions are clear to everyone. The Welsh club famous for having two Hollywood actor owners desperately want to quickly exit the National League and have invested significantly in the playing squad so there are no delays to the club’s return to the Football League.

Success on the pitch will help with their plans off it as the club plot building a new academy to provide a solid foundation for their long-term plans.
