Wrexham: Phil Parkinson recalls Bolton Wanderers 'carnage' as Dragons rise

  • Wrexham AFC, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, earned promotion to the Championship by securing the runner-up position in League One during the 2024-25 season.
  • The club's rise follows three consecutive promotions since the owners bought Wrexham in 2021 for around £2 million when the team was semi-professional.
  • Wrexham’s success involved heavy investment in player salaries, a strong unbeaten run in the last 10 games, and careful squad management by manager Phil Parkinson.
  • Co-Owner Rob McElhenney promised a celebratory trip to Las Vegas for the players, who completed the season unbeaten in the final matches, with Parkinson jokingly asking them to “just come back alive.”
  • The promotion raises expectations and spotlight on Wrexham, positioning the club for a challenging campaign in the Championship and continued growth under its celebrity-backed ownership.
