After Ending 15-Year Promotion Wait, Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham Aim on Maintaining 35-Year Record in EFL League Two

Considering the intense competition within the National League, Wrexham did well to earn promotion to the fourth tier. They dominated the league from start to finish after narrowly missing out on a promotion chance last year. Therefore, things are looking good for the club. However, promotion means staying up in the upper league as well. Almost every time, teams that come up go back down when you take examples from various soccer leagues. Now, Wrexham’s ambitions look different compared to the previous season. Maintaining their reputation within the English soccer pyramid. 

In the history of the EFL League Two, no club has gone straight down after receiving a promotion in the last 35 years. It is where Wrexham comes into the conversation. 

Wrexham aims to keep a 35-year-old record!

Since the 1986/97 campaign, no team dropped right back into the National League right after gaining promotion. Likewise, around 24 teams received promotions from 2010 to 2021. Out of that, only four teams got relegated. Out of those teams, Macclesfield succumbed to financial issues, while Barnet, York City, and Grimsby got relegated in different seasons. Hence, keeping that record intact would be crucial for Wrexham in the coming season.

But the club performed remarkably well in the 2022/23 season. They have been sensational in the current campaign, and forward Paul Mullin scored vital goals that helped them gain promotion. Team manager Phil Parkinson would have his work cut out, setting his squad for the next campaign. Although winning back-to-back promotions is not impossible, the club would take time to reach the elite levels promised by the owners.

Thus, as they step up to the EFL League Two, the club hopes to sign new players to keep them afloat. 

Who can the soccer club sign?

In the current season, they signed former England international goalkeeper Ben Foster to help them secure promotion. Despite the initial doubts, the goalkeeper dramatically helped the club after saving a penalty against Notts County. Therefore, shrewd signings look key for the club to stay in the league next season. 

Players like Danny Drinkwater, Fraizer Campbell, Tom Carroll, and Danny Rose are some of the free agents available for Wrexham to sign this summer. Rose is one of the best left-back free agents out there and would bolster their defense. Likewise, Drinkwater won the Premier League with Leicester City and would prove to be a wise signing.

Therefore, things are looking bright for the English soccer club. Who do you think Wrexham should sign to keep them up?
