Wrexham’s Fairytale Continues: Historic Promotion to the Championship
Wrexham AFC has achieved a remarkable third consecutive promotion, sealing their place in the EFL Championship after a dominant 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic. The victory secured second place in League One and continued an extraordinary journey under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. With this promotion, Wrexham becomes the first club in English football history to rise three tiers in a row, marking an unprecedented comeback from their National League days just three seasons ago.
The atmosphere at STōKCaeRas was electric, as nearly 13,000 fans filled the stadium to witness a milestone in the club’s story. Celebrations erupted after Wycombe’s loss earlier in the day, which cleared the path for Wrexham’s automatic promotion. Goals from Ollie Rathbone and Sam Smith in quick succession gave Wrexham early control, before Smith added a third late in the match to seal the win. Fans flooded the pitch after the final whistle, waving banners and lifting players on their shoulders in scenes of pure euphoria.
Behind the scenes, manager Phil Parkinson—who also boasts three prior promotions in his career—has been instrumental in guiding the team through this meteoric rise. While he acknowledged the immense challenge that awaits in the Championship, he emphasized the team's readiness and determination. Meanwhile, co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney, who transformed the club into a global name, remain focused on the long-term dream of reaching the Premier League, a goal that once seemed impossible but now feels within reach.
