Back-to-back promotions have been enjoyed, lifting Wrexham into League One, but the next step up the EFL ladder will be their biggest yet. They have already seen third tier rivals Birmingham – with NFL legend Tom Brady on board as an investor at St Andrew’s – flex their financial muscle in the transfer market and more investment will be required at SToK Racecourse in order for a meteoric rise to continue.

Reynolds and McElhenney have plenty of famous friends that could be brought on board, with many of those already paying visits to Wrexham. The current ownership team will continue to do all they can to keep Phil Parkinson’s side competitive, with Trundle saying when asked if more money could be spent in the January window: “I think if they need to they will – if you look at where the football club is going. You look at Birmingham and the amount of money that they have spent, it is massive but it doesn’t always work out.
“You go into League One and say ‘there is a lot of big clubs’, but it’s a lot of big names in clubs and you are where you are. Those big names are coming in the opposite direction to where Wrexham are going. They are clubs and fans dropping down from the Championship, that’s never nice. Wrexham are on the other way. You go back a couple of years and they were in the National League, and now they are in League One against the likes of Birmingham and clubs like that. The football club and the players are on the crest of a wave and they are enjoying every moment of it.”
