Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have secured back-to-back promotions for the club.
When the American duo took over in 2020, the Welsh side were still lingering in non-league football. The club has not tried third tier football since the 2004-05 season.
Wrexham secured promotion with a convincing 6-0 win over Forest Green on Saturday afternoon. Star forward Paul Mullin scored twice at the racecourse.
After being promoted to the Football League last year, the pair were visibly moved during promotion celebrations. Many fans initially questioned the integrity of the move, but it proved to be a huge success.

After winning last year, Reynolds told BT Sport:
“One thing that keeps running through my mind over and over again is what people say in the first place: ‘Why Wrexham, why Wrexham?’ That’s exactly why Wrexham is.
“What's happening now is why.”
“I think we could hear what the town was feeling, and that's the most important thing to us,” McElhenney said of the crowd.
“I think it's a cathartic and celebratory moment for them, and for us, to be welcomed into their community and welcomed into this experience is the honor of a lifetime.”
Wrexham took the lead. A win for the Red Dragons today, while MK Dons and Barrow fail to win, will mean promotion to LEAGUE ONE. 😬🤯pic.twitter.com/x8ZcJML280

The party will continue into the night in North Wales as fans look forward to the promotion. Can Wrexham repeat their success next year?
