Wrexham promoted to League One as Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' side move closer to Premier League
Wrexham have been promoted to League One in the English Football League (EFL).
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' team have achieved their second promotion in as many seasons after they won the National League last year.
This achievement marks the first time that Wrexham has celebrated back-to-back promotions in its 159-year history. It is also nearly two decades since the Red Dragons last competed in the third tier during the 2004/05 season.
The Sporting News takes a look at how they achieved promotion and what it means for the Welsh side's hopes of playing in the Premier League.
Where is Wrexham?
Wrexham achieved promotion in emphatic style as they beat Forest Green Rovers 6-0 to clinch League One status.
The Welsh side needed fellow promotion rivals MK Dons and Barrow to avoid victory in their respective games and they did exactly that with losses to Gillingham and Mansfield Town.
It's a day that sees the Red Dragons secure back-to-back promotions after their National League title win last season.
In contrast to the chaotic nature of last season's title win, Wrexham only required a top-three finish in League Two this season to secure automatic promotion.
League One football will be headed back to STōK Cae Ras for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Fearless in Devotion…. RISING TO PROMOTION!
