Wrexham had a fairytale run in the National League. The Red Dragons returned to EFL League Two after 15 years in exile. Every time the dream seemed within reach, the bubble broke until Ryan Reynolds took over the club. The team’s current success in League Two stands at the back of a strong foundation led by Phil Parkinson, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney. Moreover, Reynolds gets candid as he talks about the sleepless nights he spent planning Wrexham’s success story.

The team’s success story has turned into a famous show. Reynolds’s expertise in handling business and sharp entrepreneur skills has earned the Red Dragons a spot in the heart of their US fans with their documentary ‘Welcome to Wrexham’. The show has been recently renewed for a third season. Yet, last year’s promotion hunt turned out to be a tense affair.

Getting candid and speaking more about the conflicting emotions, he said, “It is for sure two full years bubbling to the top.” Reynolds gets further into the story and adds, “I would say that’s been happening constantly though. Just when I think it can’t bubble any more — like the Nott’s [County] game — here I am, having genuinely a full four sleepless nights leading up to Boreham Wood. It’s all I think about.”

Ben Foster came out of retirement to join Ryan Reynold’s side, saving a crucial penalty against Notts County to get a three-point lead that helped the team secure promotion to League Two. Meanwhile, Paul Mullin scored 38 goals in 46 games in the National League for Wrexham. And the signs are all positive, as the Wrexham currently stand 2nd in the league with 33 points.
