The Red Dragons announced that Apollo Sports Capital had acquired a minority stake in the Championship club.

Details of the deal have not been officially confirmed, but it’s believed the US investment firm has taken a share of just under 10 per cent based on an overall club valuation of £350million.

Wrexham’s Hollywood co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, said the money would be used to fund the redevelopment of the Racecourse Ground and back their push to reach the top flight.

Former Wales and Cardiff striker Nathan Blake has predicted that not only will the North Wales side achieve the latter, but will also eventually challenge for a top-six position.

Speaking on the Rob and Blakey's Commentary Box podcast, he said: “What is happening at Wrexham is what should have happened to Cardiff.

“They will go to the Premier League and become an established team, not a yo-yo club.
