Wrexham FC celebrates promotion to Football League after 15-year hiatus

Wrexham Football Club has achieved promotion back to the Football League for the first time in 15 years, following a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood. The victory was enough to secure the National League title, leading to scenes of high drama and emotion on the pitch as fans celebrated.

Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were visibly overjoyed in the stands, and were joined by fellow star Paul Rudd who had earlier been seen drinking with fans at a nearby pub. Paul Mullin, the team’s top scorer, scored the crucial goals that put Wrexham in front in the second half, with Elliot Lee’s header equalising earlier in the match. Mullin then scored a stunning goal after cutting in from the wing, before adding a third with a smart finish. The celebrations are expected to continue well into the night.
