Wrexham AFC is on the verge of reaching the English Premier League after securing promotion to the Championship, marking their third consecutive promotion. The club, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, achieved this milestone with a decisive 3-0 victory against Charlton on Saturday. The game saw early success with Wrexham scoring two goals within the first three minutes, and a third goal from striker Sam Smith in the 81st minute cemented the win, prompting jubilant celebrations from fans on the pitch, despite police warnings.
Reflecting on this achievement, Reynolds expressed his astonishment at how far the team has come since their ownership began in 2021, when Wrexham was competing in the National League. “It just seemed like an impossible dream,” Reynolds remarked, acknowledging the skepticism encountered when they initially set their sights on the Premier League.
Wrexham, the oldest soccer club in Wales and the third-oldest in the world, will now prepare to compete just below the Premier League. Manager Phil Parkinson commended the ownership duo for their investment and involvement, attributing the team’s success to their effective collaboration and trust in the coaching staff’s decision-making.
As the club gears up for the next season, hopes remain high among players, fans, and owners alike that this remarkable journey will continue with a potential ascendance into England’s top division.
