Wrexham’s bid for a fourth straight promotion and a place in the Premier league is gaining momentum.
A dramatic 3-2 win at Queens Park Rangers – sealed by two goals in stoppage time – propelled wrexham, the Welsh club co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, into sixth place in the second-tier Championship on Saturday.
The top two teams in the Championship automatically advance, while those finishing third through sixth compete in end-of-season playoffs for one additional promotion spot.
This marks the first time this season Wrexham has concluded a round of matches within the playoff positions.
Wrexham has played 29 of its 46 games in its first second-tier campaign since the 1980s, following three consecutive promotions. The club’s ascent up the English soccer pyramid began in 2022 with promotion from the non-league fifth division, a journey fueled by investment from Reynolds and McElhenney and chronicled in the popular “Welcome to Wrexham” TV series.
Josh Windass leveled the score in the third minute of added time,and Ollie Rathbone secured the victory a minute later at Loftus Road.
