    Wrexham

    The third-oldest professional football club in the world, Wrexham’s long history has not been particularly head-turning, until two Hollywood A-listers decided to buy the club.

    Wrexham are a professional football club based in North Wales who currently play in League One - the third tier of English football.

    The Red Dragons play at the Racecourse Ground, which is the oldest international stadium in the world.

    Wrexham had been in the National League since the 2008/09 season and haven't played league football for 15 years.

    However, things changed on February 9, 2021, when the Hollywood duo of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the club for an estimated sum of £2million and oversaw Wrexham's return to the Football League for the 2023/24 season.

    Historically silverware has been hard to come by for Wrexham, with the EFL Trophy arguably their biggest cup win in 2005.

    Wrexham were also Third Division champions in 1977/78, won the FA Trophy in 2013 and are the record-breaking winners of the Welsh Cup with 23.

    But it's the 2022/23 National League title under the stewardship of Reynolds and McElhenney, and manager Phil Parkinson, that will be most dear to the fans and admirers of Wrexham.

    The following season Wrexham were promoted from League Two to League One after finishing runners-up to champions Stockport.
