Wrexham, under the ownership of Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has made remarkable strides in the world of soccer. The club has secured two consecutive promotions, with the latest promotion guaranteeing their place in the third-tier League One.

With two more promotions, Wrexham could potentially find themselves competing in the prestigious Premier League alongside the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United. However, this ambitious goal may take some time to achieve.

Currently, Wrexham is in contention for the League Two title, sitting in second place, four points behind the leaders. The team has already secured promotion but has its sights set on claiming the championship, with a crucial match against the league leaders looming on the horizon.

Despite the ongoing season, celebrations have already begun for Wrexham's players, who were seen enjoying a post-match party following a resounding victory. The squad's star striker, Paul Mullin, led the festivities, hinting at a potential trip to Las Vegas, reminiscent of the team's previous celebration after winning the National League last year.

Looking ahead, Wrexham has scheduled a preseason tour of the United States, with a confirmed match against Chelsea in California. This tour aims to expand the club's fanbase and prepare the team for the upcoming League One season, which is set to commence in August.

Life in League One will bring new challenges and opportunities for Wrexham, including facing local rivals like Shrewsbury and former Premier League teams such as Wigan, Bolton, and Blackpool. The club stands to benefit financially from its League One status, receiving a substantial cash injection that will aid in player recruitment and stadium renovations.

Wrexham's journey through the leagues mirrors that of Luton, a club that ascended from the fifth tier to the Premier League in just nine years, serving as an inspiration for Wrexham's ambitious future.

As Wrexham continues its remarkable rise in English football, fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the club's extraordinary journey under the ownership of Reynolds and McElhenney.
