Last season they achieved promotion to League Two after a blockbuster battle in the National League with ultimate play-off winners Notts County, and are now flying high in their first season back in the football league.

The Wrexham owners have lofty ambitions for the club they took over when they were in the fifth tier of English football; to one day reach the Premier League.
