The North Wales outfit have attracted a worldwide focus since actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became owners in 2021, with their journey charted by the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.

Phil Parkinson's men secured a crucial 2-1 win over Blackpool on Easter Monday, edging them into a strong position for the second automatic promotion spot in League One. The victory allowed Wrexham to overtake their competitors Wycombe Wanderers, who suffered a stinging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Charlton at home.

The Red Dragons now find themselves two points clear of the Chairboys in second place, while Charlton trail them by four points, keeping their own automatic promotion hopes alive. Wrexham and Charlton are set for a potentially decisive encounter on Saturday, which could establish who joins title winners Birmingham City in the Championship.
