Four consecutive promotions bring Wrexham to the Championship for the first time since 1982
Wrexham's extraordinary rise under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has reached the Championship, a level the Welsh club has not competed at since 1981-82. Promoted from League One, this represents the fourth consecutive promotion in a journey that began in the National League, passed through League Two and League One, and has now arrived in the second tier of English football. Currently sixth with 60 points, Wrexham are in the play-off places and eyeing an unprecedented fourth straight promotion.
Kieffer Moore and marquee signings fuel Championship ambitions
Manager Phil Parkinson has been backed with significant recruitment, headlined by the two-million-pound signing of Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United. Moore announced himself with a hat-trick against Coventry, instantly becoming a fan favourite at the Racecourse Ground. Conor Coady, Lewis O'Brien, Josh Windass, and Danny Ward have also arrived, adding Championship experience and quality to a squad that has had to level up at every stage of the climb. The investment reflects an ownership group unwilling to let the momentum stall.
