Wrexham news

Phil Parkinson now has the Freedom of Wrexham County Borough after taking the Red Dragons from the National League to the EFL Championship under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The manager admitted the honour made the club's achievements 'hit home', as Wrexham continue their remarkable rise in pursuit of one day playing Premier League football.

Wrexham have been told that they will reach the Premier League in "two or three years", with Tom Brady and Birmingham considered to be mimicking the model drawn up in North Wales by "OGs" Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Red Dragons have enjoyed a historic run of three successive promotions, and Ben Foster believes they will be playing top-flight football at some point in the near future.

Steven Gerrard is considered to tick the “Disney” box for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, with Wrexham continuing to see moves for a “so-called bigger name” in the managerial department speculated on. If Phil Parkinson were to be moved on by the Red Dragons, then a Liverpool legend may be approached as he boasts the “American connection” that has taken on greater importance in North Wales.

Wrexham's record signing Nathan Broadhead has revealed the ambition shown by the club's Hollywood superstar owners was the determining factor behind his mega-money move from Ipswich this summer. Broadhead scored both goals in the 2-0 EFL victory over Reading and then hailed the influence of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in his decision to join the ambitious Welsh outfit.

Nathan Broadhead's super double propelled Wrexham into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at the expense of a toothless Reading. After a docile first-half, Phil Parkinson's men jumped to life after the break to score twice and progress in the competition where they might come up against an opponent from the Premier League.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been assured that “Wrexham won’t struggle” this season, meaning that they can relax a little, but the Red Dragons have been told what they need to do in order to be competitive in the Championship. Phil Parkinson is being backed to steer the Welsh outfit away from any kind of danger during the 2025-26 campaign.

Dele Alli has been warned that, with his form having “fallen off a cliff”, that his next port of call is likely to represent a “last chance” in the professional ranks. The former Tottenham and Everton midfielder finds himself in the free agent pool after being released by Como. There has been talk of EFL clubs, including ambitious Wrexham, showing interest.

Wrexham's official Instagram account poked fun at Hollywood star Hugh Jackman after Norwich City fans unfurled a tifo of the Wolverine actor as a result of him previously admitting he is a fan of the Canaries. Following the Welsh team's 3-2 win at Carrow Road in the Championship on Saturday, the Red Dragons have gently ribbed the Australian on social media.

Phil Parkinson has explained how Wrexham were able to contain “best in the league” Josh Sargent when taking on Norwich City. The USMNT striker headed into that contest with six goals to his name, but drew a blank against the Red Dragons as the Welsh outfit claimed a notable 3-2 win at Carrow Road - helping to ease some of the pressure that had been building on their boss.

A former Premier League ace is reportedly set to pocket around half a million before he kicks a ball again for Wrexham. The Red Dragons named their 24-man Championship squad earlier this month, with a quartet of players left out. And with manager Phil Parkinson hinting that one final spot is set to be filled, an experienced star won't play for the them in the league until at least January 1, 2026.

Wrexham roared back into Championship form as Josh Windass marked his comeback with a blistering brace in a 3-2 victory over a limp Norwich City. The win eased the heat on Phil Parkinson, whose rocky start to life in the second tier had sparked murmurs of discontent. Norwich, however, remain in meltdown. Four home games, four defeats, the Canaries are spiraling.

Former Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher is reportedly set to reject interest from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian and announce his retirement from professional football. The 38-year-old has been a free agent after being released by the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club following their promotion to the Championship last season.

Wrexham's non-executive director Shaun Harvey has rubbished reports suggesting that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are considering showing record-breaking head coach Phil Parkinson to the door at SToK Racecourse. Questions have been asked of the Red Dragons' boss, but said speculation has been branded an "absolute disgrace" by a man on the inside.
