Rob McElhenney makes bold ‘have a shot’ Wrexham prediction as he takes aim at back-to-back-to-back promotions alongside Ryan Reynolds

The Red Dragons have bounced out of the National League and straight through League Two, returning them to the third tier of English football after a 20-year absence. Clever business on and off the field is allowing the Welsh outfit to thrive.

McElhenney and fellow co-chairman Ryan Reynolds have opened up a window to the world, courtesy of their celebrity status and the popular Welcome to Wrexham documentary series, with a meteoric rise being enjoyed by the most ambitious of outfits.

There have been suggestions that Wrexham would benefit from a year of stability in League One, before kicking on again, but McElhenney has told S4C of his goals after speaking with players during another party in Las Vegas: “I mean, not that it wasn’t real before, but now it gets really real. League One is a very competitive division. There are so many great clubs that have come down from the Championship into League One and it’s going to be a lot tougher than it was past year. But I was just with Phil [Parkinson] and then just with the boys in Vegas, and they seem to think we have a shot at being there are at the top again.”

Wrexham claimed the National League title in record-breaking style, before finishing as runners-up in 2023-24. A top-six finish is now being targeted in League One, with Parkinson’s side set to discover their upcoming fixture list on June 26.
