‘Everyone knows what it takes’ – Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney & Wrexham already have promotion-winning traits as Will Boyle highlights key qualities

The Red Dragons have been on a meteoric rise since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their stunning takeover of the club in February 2021. Three memorable years have been enjoyed at SToK Racecourse, and nobody connected with Welsh outfit is ready to jump off an emotional roller coaster.

Phil Parkinson has experienced his first wobble as Wrexham boss this season, with a four-match losing run recently taken in, but a 2-1 win over Sutton has got the Red Dragons back on track and taking aim at a top-three finish once more. Boyle has said in The Leader: “It is really tight up there. We have got to focus on what we can do. Everyone at the club knows from the last couple of years what it takes to achieve something; it takes momentum and you have to build a run so that is what we have got to focus on. We are well placed and if we can do that then we won’t be in a bad position at the end. One win doesn’t mean anything but it is nice to stop a little bit of a rot.”

Boyle, who moved to North Wales from Huddersfield last summer, took his goal tally for the season to four against Sutton and added on chipping in with vital efforts despite operating at centre-half: “It was a nice moment and important for the team. Hopefully I can get a couple more to help the lads get over the line. But I don’t really care who scores as long as the ball goes in their net more times than it does ours.”

Wrexham will be back in action on Saturday when playing host to old adversaries Notts County. The two sides are set to lock horns at SToK Racecourse for the first time since their epic clash towards the end of a record-breaking 2022-23 campaign that saw the Red Dragons prevail in a thrilling National League title race.
