Wrexham AFC are currently competing for a place in the Championship play-offs following successive promotions from the National League and League Two. Former winger Paul Rutherford has recalled the conclusion of the 2020-21 campaign, which was the first full season under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. According to the Leader, Wrexham missed the National League play-offs following a 1-1 draw against Dagenham and Redbridge on the final day of that season.
Rutherford received a red card during the match, and the club subsequently released him alongside nine other players. The Dragons eventually ended their 15-year absence from the Football League by winning the National League title in 2023 with a record 111 points, per Sky Sports. Phil Parkinson's side then secured a second consecutive promotion to League One in 2024. The club now sits in the second tier of English football as they attempt to reach the Premier League, according to The Guardian.
