Wrexham AFC’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are still basking in glory following the club’s recent promotion into League One (third tier of the English football pyramid).

Securing a place in League One marked the first time in Wrexham’s 159-year history that club have achieved successive promotions, and it’s been almost twenty years since the Red Dragons have played in the third tier of English football.

After the success of the 2023 US Summer Tour when they played the likes of Chelsea and Man United, the Welsh side are set to pack their bags for another Stateside trip in July.
