Hollywood-Owned Wrexham Achieves Second Consecutive Promotion with Dominant Victory

In a remarkable display of dominance, Wrexham Football Club, owned by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, clinched their second successive promotion with a resounding 6-0 victory over Forest Green on Saturday. This triumph propels the Welsh club into League One for the upcoming season, marking a significant milestone after their return to the English Football League (EFL) in April 2023 following a 15-year absence.

Since the unexpected acquisition of Wrexham in 2021 by McElhenney and Reynolds, the club has experienced a remarkable resurgence, propelled by the duo’s investment and vision. Their ownership has not only restored Wrexham’s status in the EFL but has also garnered global recognition for the club, notably through a Disney television documentary series.

Distinguished from their League Two counterparts, Wrexham’s burgeoning fame in the United States afforded them unique opportunities, including a pre-season tour of North America. This tour featured prestigious matchups against top-tier clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United, showcasing Wrexham’s growing stature on an international stage.

The team’s remarkable performance against Forest Green, where they emphatically secured promotion, underscores their determination and resilience in the face of adversity.

The comprehensive victory saw Wrexham’s attacking prowess on full display, with Elliot Lee opening the scoring and Paul Mullin contributing a brace, complemented by Ryan Inniss’s own-goal. The first half proved particularly fruitful for Wrexham, as they netted four goals before the break. The second half witnessed further offensive prowess, with Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott adding to the tally, sealing an emphatic victory for the club.

With this result, Wrexham solidifies their place in League One for the upcoming season, signaling a new chapter in their journey back to footballing prominence. Meanwhile, the defeat dealt a blow to Forest Green, leaving the bottom side at risk of relegation from the Football League.
