Wrexham are expected to have a transfer budget of ÂŁ3 million ($4m) in the January window, according to Professor Rob Wilson, Director of Executive Education at University Campus of Football Business in London, as the club attempts to strengthen in their bid to reach the Premier League with a fourth successive promotion.
Wrexham have been urged to launch a January transfer swoop for Matheus Pereira, the Cruzeiro attacking midfielder who has experience of playing in the Premier League. The Welsh club are continuing their rapid ascent up the leagues and are now setting their sights on the Premier League.
Wrexham have officially confirmed the return of club legend Paul Mullin after his season-long loan spell at Wigan Athletic was cut short. The 31-year-old striker, who became a global icon during the clubâs rise under Hollywood ownership, is available for selection immediately as Phil Parkinson looks to bolster his attacking options for the crucial run-in.
A spectacular strike from Matty James helped Wrexham to a 2-1 victory at Derby, with Sam Smith also among the goals. The Red Dragons have now won four in a row, as they look to achieve a similar feat in the promotion department. Phil Parkinsonâs side sit just outside the Championship play-off places, with Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac continuing to take aim at the Premier League.
A rocket from Ollie Rathbone and an impressive finish from Sam Smith saw Wrexham to a 2-0 victory away at Blackburn. It proved to be a happy New Year for the Red Dragons at Ewood Park as they opened 2026 in style. Phil Parkinsonâs side have taken maximum points from their last three fixtures in the Championship and remain within sight of the play-off places.
Wrexham ace Ollie Rathbone has revealed that his parents talked him out of retiring from the game due to his injury problems. The Red Dragons star limped out of a pre-season friendly after suffering a severe ankle injury, and the issue was so bad, he contemplated hanging up his boots altogether.
Wrexham made it back-to-back Championship victories with a 2-1 win over Preston North End on Monday, but Phil Parkinson's side will be sweating on the fitness of talisman Kieffer Moore after the striker limped off with a suspected injury at the SToK Cae Ras. Goals in either half from Nathan Broadhead and Oliver Rathbone saw the Red Dragons build on their eight-goal thriller against Sheffield United by inflicting the Lilywhites' first defeat since late November.
Liverpool are all set to terminate young starlet James McConnellâs loan with Ajax as Championship clubs circle ahead of the January transfer window. The Liverpool academy graduate made his senior debut in 2024 and left for Dutch giants Ajax on a season-long loan after penning a five-year deal with his boyhood club in the summer.
John Terry has moved quickly to shut down speculation linking him with a surprise return to frontline management after reports claimed the Chelsea legend was being lined up for the Oxford United job. The former Blues captain has now spoken out publicly, distancing himself from the Championship strugglers and clarifying his current priorities.
Kieffer Moore admitted there was a particular satisfaction in his Boxing Day heroics as his brace powered Wrexham to a remarkable comeback against Sheffield United. The Wales international struck twice as Wrexham overturned a two-goal deficit to claim a breathless 5-3 Championship win at the Stok Cae Ras, a contest that swung wildly before settling firmly in the hostsâ favour.
Wrexhamâs players could barely contain their pride after producing one of the comebacks of the Championship season, roaring back from two goals down to beat Sheffield United in an eight-goal Boxing Day thriller. From James McCleanâs blunt verdict to emotional post-match reactions, the Red Dragonsâ belief and unity were on full display at a raucous Stok Cae Ras.
Kieffer Moore was the match-winner for Wrexham as the striker scored twice to sink former club Sheffield United in a thrilling Boxing Day bonanza at the Racecourse. The Blades led 3-1 in the first half following a Moore error in his own box but a stunning comeback saw Phil Parkinson's side steal all three points in a 5-3 victory, which begun with an audacious Patrick Bamford backheel flick for the visitors and ended with Josh Windass powering home a penalty to complete the turnaround.
For the first time in English football history, Saturday 3PM kick-offs could reportedly be broadcast live on domestic television, with the Premier League and the English Football League set to open formal discussions early next year about lifting the long-standing blackout. England is now the only major footballing nation in Europe to maintain the restriction, which prevents live broadcasts between 2.45PM and 5.15PM on Saturdays.
Coventry City and Southampton have both been charged by the Football Association (FA) following the unsavoury scenes at the end of their 1-1 draw in the Championship on Saturday afternoon. An ugly melee broke out between both sets of players and club staff, with Sky Blues manager Frank Lampard later apologising for his part in the scuffle at St. Maryâs.
Wrexham have rejected a shock bid for summer signing Josh Windass as Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's side make their transfer stance clear ahead of the January window. The 31-year-old became Wrexham's third signing in the summer transfer window after the Welsh club secured their third consecutive promotion to the Championship. The midfielder joined them as a free agent after leaving Sheffield Wednesday.
Wrexhamâs Championship campaign has been dealt another blow after James McClean was handed a three-match suspension for violent conduct, following an incident during Friday nightâs defeat at Swansea City. The ban removes a key leader from Phil Parkinsonâs side at a critical point in the season and represents unwelcome news for club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, who have watched their team struggle for consistency since stepping up to the second tier.
Ryan Reynolds has been dubbed âthe real version of Ted Lassoâ, with the Hollywood superstar overseeing âunbelievableâ work at Wrexham alongside co-owner Rob Mac. They have funded a remarkable rise for the Red Dragons, while chasing the Premier League dream, and have built a global fan base courtesy of an award-winning documentary series.
Former Premier League striker Patson Daka appeared to avoid a serious injury after falling on his neck while celebrating a last-gasp equaliser for Zambia at the Africa Cup of Nations. The incident, which briefly silenced a raucous crowd, ended with relief as Daka was able to continue and help his side cling to a precious draw against Mali.
Wrexham have added fit-again former England international Jay Rodriguez to their squad for the second-half of the 2025-26 campaign. The veteran frontman picked up an unfortunate injury in pre-season. He was left out of Phil Parkinsonâs 25-man EFL ranks as a result, but has now been drafted in with immediate effect after seeing Elliot Lee head for the treatment table.
Former Wrexham star Steven Fletcher has offered some insight into his time at the club and revealed the "craziest thing" about playing for Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's side. Fletcher said an emotional farewell to Wrexham back in May after two years with the Welsh side, during which he became a firm favourite and helped fire the club into the Championship.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have sold another stake in Wrexham, but the Red Dragons - and their new investors - are expected to have Hollywood co-owners locked in âgolden handcuffsâ. Their value to the collective cause is not lost on anybody connected with the Welsh club, with a meteoric rise to prominence being enjoyed under A-list chairmen.
