Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney see date set for Wrexham in the Premier League – with ex-Red Dragons star posting massively ambitious target

The ambitious Welsh outfit began their climb towards the top tier in 2022-23 when claiming the National League title in record-breaking style. They are now riding high in League Two, with Hollywood co-ownersmaking the funds available that are allowing the grandest of long-term plans to be pieced together.

Quizzed on whether Wrexham could be rubbing shoulders with the Premier League elite by 2028, Ormerod – who spent two years at the Racecourse between 2012 and 2014 – told Stocklytics: “Hopefully, I'd like to see them in the Championship or Premier League in five years. The owners are ambitious enough to get there. They've always had the right fanbase and now they have the might of the Americans. Where Wrexham end up depends on where the owners want to take it. I wish them all the best because the fans have been through a lot of pain. I remember being there when the bills weren't being paid and they were being threatened to be kicked out of the ground.”

Wrexham have come a long way in a short space of time, with Ormerod adding on a remarkable sporting story that began when a stunning takeover of the club was completed in the spring of 2021: “Wrexham are very strong. Wrexham have always been a well-supported club and now they have the Hollywood glitz - it's a bit like the circus comes to town now with Wrexham. When I was there as a player, the club was on the brink of bankruptcy and only survived because of the fans so they deserve to be in the position they're in now.”

Reynolds and McElhenney have never shied away from the fact that they want to take Wrexham to the very top, with their bid to hit the loftiest of targets being captured on camera by the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series.
